DE PROFUNDIS.
Out of the depths I have cried to Thee, O Lord: Lord, hear my voice.
Let Thine ears be attentive to the voice of my supplication.
If Thou, O Lord, wilt mark iniquities; Lord, who shall abide it?
Because with Thee there is merciful forgiveness; and by reason of Thy law I have waited for Thee, O Lord.
My soul hath relied on His word: my soul hath hoped in the Lord.
From the morning watch even until night, let Israel hope in the Lord.
Because with the Lord there is mercy, and with Him plentiful Redemption.
And He shall redeem Israel from all her iniquities.
V. Eternal rest give to them, O Lord.
R. And let perpetual light shine upon them.
May they rest in peace. Amen.
100 days for saying the De Profundis or one Our Father, Hail Mary, and Eternal Rest, kneeling, at the sound of the bell, at nightfall.
It may end thus —
V. Lord, hear my prayer,
R. And let my cry come unto Thee.
