Remember not, Lord, our offences

Language: English

Our translations: FRE GER

Remember not, Lord our offences,
nor th'offences of our forefathers
neither take thou vengeance of our sins, good Lord
But spare us, good Lord.

Spare thy people, whom thou hast redeem'd
with thy most precious blood;
and be not angry with us forever.
Spare us, good Lord.

Gedenke, Herr, nicht unserer Verfehlungen

Language: German (Deutsch) after the English

Gedenke, Herr, nicht unserer Verfehlungen,
Noch der Verfehlungen unserer Vorväter;
Und nimm auch nicht Rache wegen unserer Sünden, guter Herr,
Sondern verschone uns, guter Herr.

Verschone Dein Volk, das Du erlöst hast
Mit Deinem kostbarsten Blut;
Und zürne uns nicht ewig.
Verschone uns, guter Herr.
