Lyrics: 

R.  Ecce quómodo móritur justus, et nemo pércipit corde : et viri justi tollúntur, et nemo consíderat : a fácie iniquitátis sublátus est justus : * Et erit in pace memória ejus.
V.  Tamquam agnus coram tondénte se obmútuit, et non apéruit os suum : de angústia et de judício sublátus est.
R.   Et erit in pace memória ejus.
R.  Ecce quómodo móritur justus, et nemo pércipit corde : et viri justi tollúntur, et nemo consíderat : a fácie iniquitátis sublátus est justus : * Et erit in pace memória ejus.

Translated Lyrics: 

R.  See ye how the Righteous One perisheth, and no man layeth it to heart : and merciful men are taken away, and none considereth : but the righteous man is taken from the evil to come : * And his memory is in peace.
V.  As a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he opened not his mouth : he was taken from prison and from judgment.
R.   And his memory is in peace.
R.  See ye how the Righteous One perisheth, and no man layeth it to heart : and merciful men are taken away, and none considereth : but the righteous man is taken from the evil to come : * And his memory is in peace.
