Lyrics: 

R.  Æstimátus sum cum descendéntibus in lacum : * Factus sum sicut homo sine adjutório, inter mórtuos liber.
V.  Posuérunt me in lacu inferióri, in tenebrósis, et in umbra mortis.
R.   Factus sum sicut homo sine adjutório, inter mórtuos liber.

Translated Lyrics: 

R.  I am counted as one of them that go down into the pit : * And I have been even as a man that hath no strength, free among the dead.
V.  Thou hast laid me in the lowest pit, in a place of darkness, and in the shadow of death.
R.  And I have been even as a man that hath no strength, free among the dead.
