Text: Response at Matins, Officium Defunctorum
Job 7:7–8 (Psalm 130)

Memento mei Deus, quia ventus est vita mea:
Nec aspiciat me visus hominis

De profundis clamavi ad te, Domine:
Domine, exaudi vocem meam

Remember me O God, for my life is but a breath,
Do not look upon me with a human eye.

Out of the depths I have cried to thee, O Lord:
Lord, hear my voice.
