Psalmus 129 (130)

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.
6 A custodia matutina usque ad noctem, speret Israël in Domino.
7 Quia apud Dominum misericordia, et copiosa apud eum redemptio.
8 Et ipse redimet Israël ex omnibus iniquitatibus ejus.1

Requiem aeternam dona eis Domine
et lux perpetua luceat eis.
Kyrie eleyson,
Christe eleyson,
Kyrie eleyson.
Pater noster.

A song of Hope

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; for with the Lord there is mercy,
and with Him is plentious redemption;
And He shall redeem Israel from all his sins.
