Remember not, Lord, our offences

Language: English

Our translations: FRE GER

Remember not, Lord our offences,
nor th'offences of our forefathers
neither take thou vengeance of our sins, good Lord
But spare us, good Lord.

Spare thy people, whom thou hast redeem'd
with thy most precious blood;
and be not angry with us forever.
Spare us, good Lord.

Ne te souviens pas, Seigneur, de nos offenses

Language: French (Français) after the English

Ne te souviens pas, Seigneur, de nos offenses,
ni des offenses de nos parents,
ne tire pas vengeance de nos péchés, Seigneur de bonté.
Mais épargne-nous, Seigneur de bonté.

Épargne ton peuple que tu as racheté
avec ton sang le plus précieux ;
et ne sois pas en colère contre nous, jamais.
Épargne-nous, Seigneur de bonté.
