Текст и перевод песни Jan Garbarek feat. The Hilliard Ensemble - Parce Mihi Domine

Parce Mihi Domine

Parce mihi, Domine, nihil enim sunt dies mei
Quid est homo, quia magnificas eum?
Aut quid apponis erga eum cor tuum?
Visitas eum diluculo et subito probas illum

Usquequo non parcis mihi, nec dimittis me, ut glutiam salivam meam?
Peccavi, quid faciam tibi, o custos hominum?
Quare posuisti me contrarium tibi, et factus sum mihimetispsi gravis?
Cur non tollis peccatum meum, et quare non aufers iniquitatem meam?
Ecce, nunc in pulvere dormiam, et si mane me quaesieris, non subsistam

Parce Mihi Domine

I have sinned, what shall I do to thee, O thou preserver of men?
Why hast thou set me as a mark against thee, so that I am become a burden to myself?
And why dost thou not pardon my transgression, and take away mine iniquity?
Behold, now I shall sleep in the dust; and if thou seekest me in the morning, I shall not be
