Meeting 2-B

DE PROFUNDIS

Psalm 129-130

Choir alternates beginning on the superior’s side.  We will do this at the first meeting.

Superior:  Out of the depths I cry to you, O Lord:
Superior choir:   Lord, hear my voice.

Opposite choir: Let your ears be attentive/
to the voice of my supplication.

If you, O Lord, will mark iniquities,/
Lord, who shall stand it?

For with you there is merciful forgiveness;/
And by reason of your law I have waited
for you, O Lord.

My soul has relied on his word;/
my soul has 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 its iniquities.

Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord,/
and let perpetual light shine upon them.

From the gate of hell,

Deliver their souls, O Lord.

O Lord, hear my prayer.

And let my cry come unto you.

All:  Let us pray./ O God, the Creator and Redeemer
of all the faithful,/ give to the souls of your servants
and handmaids the remission of all sins,/ that through pious supplication/
they may obtain the pardon they have ever wished for./
Who lives and reigns with God the Father/ in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
God, for ever and ever.  Amen.

Superior:  May they rest in peace.

All:  Amen.
