Latin.png Latin text

Emendemus in melius quae ignoranter peccavimus;
ne subito praeoccupati die mortis,
quaeramus spatium poenitentiae,
et invenire non possimus.
Attende, Domine, et miserere;
quia peccavimus tibi.
Adjuva nos,
Deus salutaris noster,
et propter honorem nominis tui libera nos.
Peccavimus cum patribus nostris;
injuste egimus, iniquitatem fecimus.
Attende Domine,
et miserere,
quia peccavimus tibi.

English.png English translation translation by William Mahrt

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.
