Translation by Martin Luther (1483 - 1546)
De profundis clamavi ad te, Domine
Language: Latin after the Hebrew (עברית)
1 [Canticum graduum.] De profundis clamavi ad te, Domine; 2 Domine, exaudi vocem meam. Fiant aures tuæ intendentes in vocem deprecationis meæ. 3 Si iniquitates observaveris, Domine, Domine, quis sustinebit? 4 Quia apud te propitiatio est; et propter legem tuam sustinui te, Domine. Sustinuit anima mea in verbo ejus: 5 Speravit [anima mea in Domino]1. 6 A custodia matutina usque ad noctem, speret Israël in Domino. 7 Quia apud Dominum misericordia, et copiosa apud eum redemptio.2 8 Et ipse redimet Israël ex omnibus iniquitatibus ejus.3

Aus der Tiefe rufe ich, Herr, zu dir
Language: German (Deutsch) after the Latin
1 [Ein Lied im höhern Chor.] Aus der Tiefe [rufe]1 [ich, Herr, zu dir]2. 2 Herr, höre meine Stimme; laß deine Ohren merken auf die Stimme meines Flehens! 3 So du willst, Herr, Sünde zurechnen, Herr, wer wird bestehen? 4 Denn bei dir ist die [Vergebung]3, daß man dich fürchte. 5 Ich harre des [Herrn]4; meine Seele harret, und ich hoffe auf sein Wort. 6 Meine Seele wartet auf den [Herrn]4 von einer Morgenwache bis zur andern. 7 Israel hoffe auf den [Herrn]4; denn bei dem [Herrn]4 ist die Gnade und viel Erlösung bei ihm; 8 und er wird Israel erlösen aus allen seinen Sünden.
