Aestimatus sum cum descendentibus in lacum,
factus sum sicut homo sine adjutorio, inter mortuos liber.
Versus: Posuerunt me in lacu inferiori, in tenebrosis et in umbra mortis.
Factus sum sicut homo sine adjutorio, inter mortuos liber.

I am counted with them that go down into the pit:
I am as a man that hath no strength: free among the dead.

I am as a man that hath no strength: free among the dead.
