Wende dich zu mir, sei mir gnädig; stärke deinen Knecht mit deiner Kraft und hilf dem Sohn deiner Magd!
Mírame, y ten misericordia de mí: Da tu fortaleza a tu siervo, Y guarda al hijo de tu sierva.
Vuélvete hacia mí y ten piedad de mí; da tu fuerza a tu siervo y salva al hijo de tu sierva.
Tourne vers moi les regards et aie pitié de moi, Donne la force à ton serviteur, Et sauve le fils de ta servante!
Volgi la tua faccia verso me, ed abbi pietà di me; Da’ la tua forza al tuo servitore, E salva il figliuolo della tua servente.
Volta-te para mim, e tem misericórdia de mim; dá a tua fortaleza ao teu servo, e salva ao filho da tua serva.
求你轉向我,憐憫我, 將你的力量賜給僕人,拯救你使女的兒子。
