De profundis clamavi ad te, Domine:
Domine, exaudi vocem meam.
Fiant aures tuae intendentes:
in vocem deprecationis meae.
Si iniquitates observaveris, Domine: qui sustinebit?
Quia apud te propitiatio est:
et propter legem tuam sustinuite, Domine.
Sustinuit anima mea in verbo ejus,
speravit anima mea in Domino,
a custodia matutina usque ad noctem.
Speret Israel in Domino.
Quia apud Dominum misericordia
et copiosa apud eum redemptio.
Et ipse redimet Israel ex omnibus iniquitatibus ejus.
Gloria Patri etc.
Translation(s): English translation
Out of the depths I have cried to thee, O Lord:
Lord, hear my voice. Let thy ears be attentive to the voice of my supplication.
If thou, O Lord, wilt mark iniquities: Lord, who shall stand it.
For with thee there is merciful forgiveness:
and by reason of thy law, I have waited for thee, O Lord.
My soul hath relied on his word:
my soul hath hoped in the Lord.
From the morning watch even until night,
let Israel hope in the Lord.
Because with the Lord there is mercy:
and with him plentiful redemption.
And he shall redeem Israel from all his iniquities.
Glory be to the Father, etc.
(Psalm 130 (Vulgate 129), Douay-Rheims Bible translation)
English translation
Out of the depths I have cried to thee, O Lord;
Lord, hear my voice.
Let thine ears be attentive to the voice of my supplication.
If thou wilt mark iniquities,
O Lord, Lord, who shall stand it?
For with thee there is mercy; and for the sake of thy law,
I have waited for thee, O Lord.
My soul has relied on his word;
my soul has hoped in the Lord.
From the morning watch until the night,
let Israel hope in the Lord;
because with the Lord there is mercy,
and with him plentiful redemption.
And he shall redeem Israel from all his iniquities.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit;
as it was in the beginning, now, and forever,
and unto the ages of ages. Amen.
