Tomas Luis Victoria - Lectio II ad Matutinum

Superbe !

Translation (cont'd)
Is your life like the life of men, and
do your years pass like the days of men,
that you should search for faults in me,
and investigate my sins?
Surely you know that I have done nothing wrong and that
no one could rescue me from your hand.

Translation (part 1)
I am weary at heart of my life;
I will speak out at my own risk,
and express the bitterness in my soul.
I shall say to God: Do not condemn me,
but show me why you judge me this way.
Shall it seem a good thing to you to
cheapen me and oppress me, a work of
your own hands, and to support the
schemes of the wicked?
Are your eyes like human eyes?
Do even you see only as men do?

Text (cont'd from previous comment)

Numquid sicut dies hominis dies tui,
et anni tui sicut humana sunt tempora,
ut quaeris iniquitatem meam,
et peccatum meum scruteris?
Et scias quia nihil impium fecerim,
cum sit nemo qui de manu tua possit eruere.

Text, (part 1)
Taedet animam meam vitae meae,
dimittam adversum me eloquium meum,
loquar in amaritudine animae meae.
Dicam Deo: Noli me condemnare;
indica mihi cur me ita judices.
Numquid bonum tibi videtur,
si calumnieris et opprimas me,
opus manuum tuarum, et consilium
impiorum adjuves?
Numquid oculi carnei tibi sunt;
aut sicut videt homo, et tu vides?

That's fascinating
