Parce mihi Domine.
Cristobal de Morales (1500-1553).
Parce mihi Domine
(Job 7:16 -21)
Latin
Parce mihi Domine, nihil enim sunt dies mei.
Quid est homo, quia magnificent eum?
Aut quid apponis erga cor tuum eum?
Cum diluculo visits, et subito probas illum.
I usquequo non michi parcis, nec dimittas me, ut glutiam salivam meam?
Peccavi. Faciam Quid tibi, or custos hominum?
Quare posuisti contrarium me tibi, et factus sum michimet ipsi gravis?
Cur non tollis peccatum meum, et quare non aufers iniquitatem meam?
Ecce nunc in pulvere dormio; et si me quesieris mane, non subsistam.
Inglés
Spare me, O Lord, for my days are nothing.
What is man, That thou dost make so much of him, and That
September dost thou thy mind upon him,
dost visit him every morning, and test him every moment?
How long wilt thou not look away from me, nor let me alone till I swallow my spittle?
If I sin, what do I do to thee, thou watcher of men? Why hast thou made me thy mark?
Why Have I Become a burden to thee?
Why dost thou not pardon my transgression and take away my iniquity?
For now I Shall lie in the earth; thou wilt seek me, but I Shall Not be.
Spanish
Why dost thou not pardon my transgression and take away my iniquity?
For now I Shall lie in the earth; thou wilt seek me, but I Shall Not be.
Spanish
Forgive me Lord, for my days are a breath.
What is man that you give so much importance,
so you put your attention on it,
for inspections every morning and you constantly put to the test?
How long you'll keep watching me and give me no respite to swallow?
What made you hurt my sin, keeper of men?
Why have you made me your target arrows?
What is man that you give so much importance,
so you put your attention on it,
for inspections every morning and you constantly put to the test?
How long you'll keep watching me and give me no respite to swallow?
What made you hurt my sin, keeper of men?
Why have you made me your target arrows?
Why should I be a burden to you?
Why not forget my sin and you overlook my fault?
Look how soon will lie on the ground and not find me, even me look.
Why not forget my sin and you overlook my fault?
Look how soon will lie on the ground and not find me, even me look.
