De profundis clamavi |
Out of the depths I cried. |
Ipse salvum faciet populum suum a peccatis eorum (Mt 1:21) |
He will save His people from their sins. (Mt 1:21) |
1 DE PROFUNDIS clamavi, ad te Domine; * 2 Domine, exaudi vocem meam. |
1 OUT OF THE DEPTHS I cry to Thee, O Lord; * 2 O Lord, hear my voice! |
Fiant aures tuae intendentes * in vocem deprecationis meae. |
Let Thy ears be attentive * to the voice of my supplication: |
3 Si iniquitates observaveris, Domine, * Domine, quis sustinebit? |
3 If Thou, O Lord, mark one's iniquities, * O Lord, who can stand? |
4 Quia apud te propitiatio est; * et propter legem tuam sustinui te, Domine. |
4 But with Thee is forgiveness, * and on account of Thy law, I have waited for Thee. |
Sustinuit anima mea in verbo eius; * 5 speravit anima mea in Domino. |
My soul hath relied upon His word: * 5 my soul hath hoped in the Lord. |
6 A custodia matutina usque ad noctem: * 7 speret Israel in Domino; |
6 From the morning watch until night, * let Israel hope in the Lord. |
7 Quia apud Dominum misericordia, * et copiosa apud eum redemptio. |
7 For with the Lord is mercy * and plenteous with Him is redemption; |
8 Et ipse redimet Israel * ex omnibus iniquitatibus eius. |
8 And He will redeem Israel * from all their iniquities. |
