Ich aber bin elend, und mir ist wehe. Herr, Herr, Gott, barmherzig und gnädig und geduldig und von großer Gnade und Treue, der du beweisest Gnade in tausend Glied, und vergibst Missetat, Übertretung und Sünde, und vor welchem niemand unschuldig ist. Gott, Herr Gott, deine Hilfe schütze mich.

Mais je suis misérable et plein de malheur. Seigneur, Seigneur, Dieu, Miséricordieux et plein de grâce et de patience Et des plus grandes grâce et fidélité, Toi qui as montré de la pitié à des milliers de générations Et a pardonné méfaits, offenses et péchés, Et devant qui personne n'est innocent. Dieu, Seigneur Dieu, que ton aide me protège.
