Latina

Requiem aeternam dona eis, Domine, et lux perpetua luceat eis. Requiescant in pace. Amen.

De profundis clamavi ad Te, Domine; Domine, exaudi vocem meam. Fiant aures Tuae intendentes in vocem deprecationis meae.

Si iniquitates observaveris, Domine, Domine, quis sustinebit? Quia apud Te propitiatio est, et propter legem tuam sustinui Te, Domine.

Sustinuit anima mea in verbo eius; speravit anima mea in Domino. A custodia matutina usque ad noctem speret Israel in Domino.

Quia apud Dominum misericordia et copiosa apud eum redemptio. Et ipse redimet Israel ex omnibus iniquitatibus eius.

V. Fidelium animae per misericordiam Dei requiescant in pace. R. Amen.

English

Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them. May they rest in peace. Amen.

Out of the depths I have cried unto 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 stand? For with Thee there is merciful forgiveness, and because 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.

For with the Lord there is mercy and with Him plentiful redemption. And He shall redeem Israel from all his iniquities.

V. May the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. R. Amen.
