Translation by Philippe Desportes (1545 - 1606)

Du profond des maux de mon ame
Language: French (Français)  after the Latin 
Du profond des maux de mon ame
A toy j’ay crié maintefois,
Seigneur, Seigneur que je reclame,
Exauce ma dolente voix.

De mon cry ton oreille attainte
Se rende encline à m’écouter,
Et sois propice à la complainte
Que ma voix si haut fait monter.

Si sans la faveur de ta grace
Tu veux nos pechez mesurer,
Seigneur, las ! Seigneur, qui sera-ce
Qui pourra ton ire endurer?

Mais tu te plais à la clémence,
Grace et pardon viennent de toy:
Qui fait qu‘on t'ait en reverence,
Et qu’en crainte on garde ta loy.
