Lyrics: 

Domine, ne longe facias auxilium tuum a me, ad defensionem meam aspice: libera me de ore leonis, et a cornibus unicornium humilitatem meam.  Deus, Deus meus, respice in me: quare me dereliquisti? Longe a salute mea, verba delictorum meorum.

Translated Lyrics: 

O Lord, keep not Thy help far from me; look to my defense; deliver me from the lion's mouth, and my lowness from the horns of the unicorns. (Ps. 21. 2.) O God, my God, look upon me; why hast Thou forsaken me? Far from my salvation are the words of my sins
