De profundis clamavi ad te, Domine
Language: Latin after the Hebrew (עברית)
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,...
Language: English after the Latin
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;]1 for with the Lord there is mercy, and with Him is plentious redemption; And He shall redeem Israel from all his sins.
