Attende Domine, et miserere, quia peccavimus tibi. Ad te Rex summe, omnium Redemptor, oculos nostros sublevamus flentes: exaudi, Christe, supplicantum preces. Attende Domine, et miserere, quia peccavimus tibi. Dextera Patris, lapis angularis, via salutis, ianua caelestis, ablue nostri maculas delicti. Attende Domine, et miserere, quia peccavimus tibi. Rogamus, Deus, tuam maiestatem, auribus sacris gemitus exaudi, crimina nostra placidus indulge. Attende Domine, et miserere, quia peccavimus tibi. Tibi fatemur crimina admissa, contrito corde pandimus occulta; tua, Redemptor, pietas ignoscat. Attende Domine, et miserere, quia peccavimus tibi. Innocens captus, nec repugnans ductus, testibus falsis pro impiis damnatus; quos redemisti, tu conserva, Christe. Attende Domine, et miserere, quia peccavimus tibi.

Hoor naar ons, Heer, en toon ontferming, Immers, wij deden u onrecht. Tot U, Vorst, hoogste, aller mensen Redder, Heffen wij wenend onze droeve ogen: Verhoor, o Christus, wat wij smekend bidden. Hoor naar ons, Heer, en toon ontferming, Immers, wij deden u onrecht. Hand van de Vader, hoeksteen die het huis schraagt, Weg naar het heil toe, toegangsdeur des hemels, Was af de smetten van wat wij misdeden. Hoor naar ons, Heer, en toon ontferming, Immers, wij deden u onrecht. Wij vragen, God, U, majesteit vol glorie, Wil naar ons luist’ren, ons gezucht aanhoren: Wat wij misdeden, wil ons dat vergeven. Hoor naar ons, Heer, en toon ontferming, Immers, wij deden u onrecht. Ja, wij bekennen, wij begingen zonden: Ons hart vol wroeging leggen wij nu open: Milde Verlosser, wil ons kwaad negeren. Hoor naar ons, Heer, en toon ontferming, Immers, wij deden u onrecht. Schuldloos gevangen en u niet verzettend, Vals’lijk beschuldigd, voor schreeuwend1 volk gevonnist; Die gij verlost hebt, Christus, ach, bewaar hen. Hoor naar ons, Heer, en toon ontferming, Immers, wij deden u onrecht.
