De profundis clamavi ad te, Domine;
Domine, exaudi vocem meam. Fiant aures tuæ intendentes
in vocem deprecationis meæ.
Si iniquitates observaveris, Domine, Domine, quis sustinebit?
Quia apud te propitiatio est; et propter legem tuam sustinui te, Domine.
Sustinuit anima mea in verbo ejus:
Speravit anima mea in Domino.
A custodia matutina usque ad noctem, speret Israël in Domino.
Quia apud Dominum misericordia, et copiosa apud eum redemptio.
Et ipse redimet Israël ex omnibus iniquitatibus ejus.

1	Out of the depths have I called to you, O LORD; LORD, hear my voice; * let your ears consider well the voice of my supplication.

2	If you, LORD, were to note what is done amiss, * O LORD, who could stand?

3	For there is forgiveness with you; * therefore you shall be feared.

4	I wait for the LORD; my soul waits for him; * in his word is my hope.

5	My soul waits for the LORD, more than watchmen for the morning, * more than watchmen for the morning.

6	O Israel, wait for the LORD, * for with the LORD there is mercy;

7	With him there is plenteous redemption, * and he shall redeem Israel from all their sins.
