CD 4: Michel-Richard de Lalande: De Profundis

1

De profundis clamavi ad te Domine.

Out of the depths have I cried unto Thee, O Lord.

Domine exaudi vocem meam.

2

Fiant aures tuae intendentes,
In vocem deprecationis meae.

Lord, listen to my voice:
Let Thine ears be attentive
to the voice of my supplications.

3

Si iniquitates observa veris Domine,
Quis sustenebit.

If Thou, Lord, wilt mark iniquities, O Lord,
who shall stand it?

4

Quia apud te propitatio est.
Et propter legem tuam,
sustinui te Domine.

For with Thee there is merciful forgiveness.
And by reason of Thy law
have I waited for Thee, O Lord.

5

Sustinuit anima mea in verbo ejus.

My soul hath relied on His word.

6

Speravit anima mea in Domino.

7

A custodia matutina usque ad noctem.

My soul hath hoped in the Lord

From the morning watch even unto night.

Speret Israël in Domino

8

Quia apud Dominum misericordia
Et copiosa apud eum redemptio.

Let Israel hope in the Lord

Because with the Lord there is mercy
And with Him plenteous redemption.

9

Et ipse redimet Israël
Ex omnibus iniquitatibus ejus

And He shall redeem Israel
from all his iniquities

Requiem eternam dona eis Domine.

Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord.

Et lux perpetua luceat eis.

And let perpetual light shine upon them.
