1 [Canticum graduum.]
  De profundis clamavi ad te, Domine;
2 Domine, exaudi vocem meam.
  Fiant aures tuæ intendentes 
  in vocem deprecationis meæ.
3 Si iniquitates observaveris,
  Domine, Domine, quis sustinebit?
4 Quia apud te propitiatio est;
  et propter legem tuam sustinui te, Domine.
  Sustinuit anima mea in verbo ejus:
5 Speravit [anima mea in Domino]1.
6 A custodia matutina usque ad noctem,
  speret Israël in Domino.
7 Quia apud Dominum misericordia,
  et copiosa apud eum redemptio.2
8 Et ipse redimet Israël 
  ex omnibus iniquitatibus ejus.3

Out of the deep have I called unto Thee, O Lord.
Lord, Hear my voice, 
O, let Thine ears consider well 
the voice of my complaint.
If Thou Lord, will be extreme 
to mark what is done amis:
O Lord, who may abide it?
For there is mercy with Thee, 
therefore shalt Thou be feared.
I look for the Lord; 
my soul doth wait for Him; 
in his word is my trust.
My soul looketh for the Lord, 
more than watchmen wait for the morning.
Let Israel hope in the Lord;
for with the Lord there is mercy,
and with Him is plentious redemption;
And He shall redeem Israel from all his sins.
