Lyrics: Prayer of Manasseh 1: 9,10; Psalm 51: 5

Peccavi super numerum arenæ maris,
et multiplicata sunt peccata mea:
et non sum dignus videre altitudinem cœli,
præ multitudine iniquitatis meæ.
Quoniam irritavi iram tuam,
et malum coram te feci.
Quoniam iniquitatem meam ego cognosco,
et delictum meum contra me est semper,
quia tibi soli peccavi et malum coram te feci.

I have sinned above the number of the sand in the sea,
my transgressions are exceeding many:
and I am not worthy to behold and see the height of the heavens,
for the multitude of mine unrighteousness.
For I have provoked thy wrath,
and done evil before thee.
For I know mine iniquities,
and my sin is ever before me.
Against thee only have I sinned and done evil in thy sight.
