Text and translations

Latin text Peccantem me quotidie et non penitentem, Timor mortis conturbat me. Responsum Quia in inferno nulla est redemptio. Miserere mei, Deus, et salva me. Versus Deus, in nomine tuo salvum me fac, et in virtute tua libera me. Variant 1 Commissa mea pavesco et ante te erubesco: dum veneris iudicare noli me condemnare sed miserere mei Domine, et salva me.

English translation I who sin every day and am not penitent the fear of death troubles me: Responsum For in hell there is no redemption. Have mercy upon me, O God, and save me. Versus God, in your name save me, and in your virtue set me free. Variant 1 I tremble at my misdeeds and blush before you: when you come to judge, condemn me not: have mercy upon me, O God, and save me.

Portuguese translation Estou a pecar a cada dia contudo não me arrependo; o temor da morte me conturba: Responsum Pois no inferno não há redenção. Tem misericórdia de mim, ó Deus, e salva-me. Versus Deus, salva-me em Teu nome, e livra-me pela Tua virtude.
