De Lamentatióne Jeremíæ Prophétæ

HETH.  Misericórdiæ Dómini quia non sumus consúmpti : quia non defecérunt miseratiónes ejus.
HETH.  Novi dilúculo, multa est fides tua.
HETH.  Pars mea Dóminus, dixit ánima mea : proptérea exspectábo eum.
TETH.  Bonus est Dóminus sperántibus in eum, ánimæ quærénti illum.
TETH.  Bonum est præstolári cum siléntio salutáre Dei.
TETH.  Bonum est viro cum portáverit jugum ab adolescéntia sua.
JOD.  Sedébit solitárius, et tacébit : quia levávit super se.
JOD.  Ponet in púlvere os suum, si forte sit spes.
JOD.  Dabit percutiénti se maxíllam, saturábitur oppróbriis.

Translated Lyrics: 

Here beginneth the Lamentation over Jerusalem by Jeremiah the Prophet

HETH.  It is of the Lord's mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not.
HETH.  They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness.
HETH.  The Lord is my portion, saith my soul; therefore will I hope in him.
TETH.  The Lord is good unto them that wait for him, to the soul that seeketh him.
TETH.  It is good that a man should both hope and quietly wait for the salvation of the Lord.
TETH.  It is good for a man that he bear the yoke in his youth.
YODH.  He sitteth alone and keepeth silence, because he hath borne it upon him.
YODH.  He putteth his mouth in the dust; if so be there may be hope.
YODH.  He giveth his cheek to him that smiteth him: he is filled full with reproach.
