1 De profundis clamavi ad te Domine

2 Domine exaudi vocem meam fiant aures tuae intendentes in vocem deprecationis meae

3 Si iniquitates observabis Domine Domine quis sustinebit

4 Quia apud te propitiatio est propter legem tuam sustinui te Domine sustinuit anima mea in verbum eius

5 Speravit anima mea in Domino

6 A custodia matutina usque ad noctem speret Israel in Domino

7 Quia apud Dominum misericordia et copiosa apud eum redemption

English Translation:

1 Out of the depths I have cried to thee, O Lord:

2 Lord, hear my voice. Let thy ears be attentive to the voice of my supplication.

3 If thou, O Lord, wilt mark iniquities: Lord, who shall stand it.

4 For with thee there is merciful forgiveness: and by reason of thy law, I have waited for thee, O Lord. My soul hath relied on his word:

5 my soul hath hoped in the Lord.

6 From the morning watch even until night, let Israel hope in the Lord.

7 Because with the Lord there is mercy: and with him plentiful redemption.
