Text: Ecce quomodo
Jacob Handl (1550–1591)
| Original Text | English Translation |
| Ecce quomodo moritur justus et nemo percipit corde. Viri justi tolluntur et nemo considerat. A facie iniquitatis sublatus est justus et erit in pace memoria eius: in pace factus est locus ejus et in Sion habitatio eius et erit in pace memoria eius. |
Behold how the righteous dies and no one takes notice. The righteous are taken away and no one pays attention. From facing iniquity the righteous is removed, and his memory will be in peace: his (resting) place is in peace and his dwelling place in Zion, and his memory will be in peace. |
