Let us amend for the better in those things in which we have sinned through ignorance; lest suddenly overtaken by the day of death, we seek space for repentance, and be not able to find it. Hearken, O Lord, and have mercy: for we have sinned against thee. Help us, O God of our salvation, and for the honor of thy name deliver us. | Let us amend for the better in those things in which we have sinned through ignorance; lest suddenly overtaken by the day of death, we seek space for repentance, and be not able to find it.

We have sinned with our fathers; we have acted unjustly, we have wrought iniquity.

English translation
Let us amend for the better in those things in which we have sinned through ignorance; lest suddenly overtaken by the day of death, we seek space for repentance, and be not able to find it. Hearken, O Lord, and have mercy: for we have sinned against thee. Help us, O God of our salvation, and for the honor of thy name deliver us.
We have sinned with our fathers; we have acted unjustly, we have wrought iniquity. Hearken, O Lord, and have mercy: for we have sinned against thee.
