Animam Meam • Responsorium VI: Good Friday

Composer — Annibale Zoilo (1537-1592)

Animam meam dilectam tradidi
in manus iniquorum,
et facta est mihi hereditas mea
sicut leo in silva:

Dedit contra me voces adversarius, dicens: Congregamini, et properate ad devorandum illum: posuerunt me in deserto solitudinis,
et luxit super me omnis terra:
Quia non est inventus qui me agnosceret,
et faceret bene.

I delivered the soul that I had loved
into the hands of the wicked,
and my inheritance is become to me
like a lion in the forest.

My adversary spoke out against me saying:
Come together and make haste to devour him.
They placed me in a solitary desert,
and all earth mourned for me;
Because there was none that would know me
and do good to me.

V: Insurrexerunt in me viri absque misericordia, et non pepercerunt animae meae.
V Men without mercy rose up against me, and they spared not my life.
