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

Uit de diepten heb ik tot U geroepen, Heer; Heer, luister naar mijn stem. Mogen uw oren gespitst zijn op de stem van mijn smeekbede. Als gij let op ongerechtigheden, Heer, Heer, wie zal het dan uithouden? Want bij U is verzoening: om uw wet heb ik U hoog gehouden, Heer. Mijn ziel heeft op zijn woord stand gehouden; mijn ziel heeft op de Heer gehoopt. Vanaf de ochtendwacht tot aan de nacht moet Israel hopen op de Heer. Want bij hem is mededogen, en overvloedig is bij hem verlossing. En Hij zelf zal Israel bevrijden uit al zijn ongerechtigheden.
