canticum graduum
1. de profundis clamavi ad te Domine
2. Domine exaudi vocem meam fiant aures tuae intendentes ad vocem deprecationis meae
3. si iniquitates observabis Domine Domine quis sustinebit
4. quia tecum est propitiatio cum terribilis sis sustinui Dominum sustinuit anima mea et verbum eius expectavi
5. anima mea ad Dominum
6. a vigilia matutina usque ad vigiliam matutinam expectet Israhel Dominum
7. quia apud Dominum misericordia et multa apud eum redemptio
8. et ipse redimet Israhel ex omnibus iniquitatibus eius
[edit] English Version from the Catholic Holy Bible
1A song of ascents
1. 2Out of the depths I call to you, LORD;
2. Lord, hear my cry! May your ears be attentive to my cry for mercy.
3. If you, LORD, mark our sins, Lord, who can stand?
4. 3But with you is forgiveness and so you are revered.
5. I wait with longing for the LORD, my soul waits for his word.
6. My soul looks for the Lord more than sentinels for daybreak. More than sentinels for daybreak,
7. let Israel look for the LORD, For with the LORD is kindness, with him is full redemption,
8. And God will redeem Israel from all their sins.
[edit] Footnotes
1[Psalm 130] This lament, a Penitential Psalm, is the De profundis used in liturgical prayers for the faithful departed. In deep sorrow the psalmist cries to God (Psalm 130:1-2), asking for mercy (Psalm 130:3-4). The psalmist's trust (Psalm 130:5-6) becomes a model for the people (Psalm 130:7-8).
2 [1] The depths: Sheol here is a metaphor of total misery. Deep anguish makes the psalmist feel "like those descending to the pit" (Psalm 143:7).
3[4] And so you are revered: the experience of God's mercy leads one to a greater sense of God.
