Psaume 130: Du fond de l'abîme
 (Sung text for setting by L. Boulanger)
 Matches base text
Language: French (Français)  after the Latin 
Our translations:  ENG
Du fond de l'abîme je t'invoque,
Iahvé Adonaï.
Ecoute ma prière!
Que tes oreilles soient attentives
Aux accents de ma prière!

Si tu prends garde aux péchés,
Qui donc pourra tenir, Iahvé?
La clémence est en Iahvé
Afin qu'on le révère.

Mon âme espère en Iahvé,
J'espère, je compte sur sa parole
Plus que les guetteurs de la nuit
N'aspirent au matin.

Israël espère en Iahvé,
Car en Iahvé est la miséricorde.
Et l'abondance de la délivrance.

C'est lui qui délivrera Israel,
De toutes ses iniquités
En Iahvé est la clémence.
Ah! Iahvé Adonaï.

    Set to music by Lili Boulanger (1893 - 1918), "Psaume 130: Du fond de l'abîme" [ contralto, tenor, mixed chorus, and orchestra ]
