Latin text
Levemus corda nostra cum manibus ad Dominum in cœlos.
Nos enim inique egimus, et ad iracundiam provocavimus. Sed tu Domine miserere nostri.
English translation
Let us lift up our hearts with our hands to our Lord into the heavens.
We have done wickedly, and provoked to wrath: O Lord, have mercy upon us.
