Psalm 129 : 3-4 and 1-2

Si iniquitates observaveris, Domine : Domine, quis sustinebit? Quia apud Te propitiatio est. Deus Israel.

De profundis clamavi ad Te, Domine : Domine, exaudi vocem meam.

Response : Gloria Patri et Filio et Spiritui Sancto, sicut erat in principio et nunc et semper, et in saecula saeculorum. Amen.

English translation

If You shall observe iniquities, o Lord, Lord, who shall endure it? For with You is propitiation, o God of Israel.

From the depths I have cried to You, o Lord. Lord, hear my voice.

Response : Glory be to the Father, and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit, as it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
