Gedenke, Herr, nicht unserer Verfehlungen, Noch der Verfehlungen unserer Vorväter; Und nimm auch nicht Rache wegen unserer Sünden, guter Herr, Sondern verschone uns, guter Herr. Verschone Dein Volk, das Du erlöst hast Mit Deinem kostbarsten Blut; Und zürne uns nicht ewig. Verschone uns, guter Herr.
