R. Dómine, / quando véneris iudicáre terram, ubi me abscóndam a vultu iræ tuæ? * Quia peccávi nimis in vita mea. V. Commíssa mea pavésco, et ante te erubésco: dum véneris iudicáre, noli me condemnáre. R. Quia peccávi nimis in vita mea. V. Réquiem ætérnam dona eis, Dómine: Et lux perpétua lúceat eis. V. Quia peccávi nimis in vita mea.

R. Lord, when Thou comest to judge the earth, where shall I hide myself from the face of thy wrath? * For I have sinned greatly in my life. V.

Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord.  And let perpetual light shine upon them. V. For I have sinned greatly in my life.

Dómine secúndum actum

R. Dómine, secúndum actum meum noli me iudicáre: nihil dignum in conspéctu tuo egi; ideo déprecor maiestátem tuam, * Ut tu, Deus, deleas iniquitátem meam. V. Amplius lava me, Dómine, ab iniustítia mea, et a delícto meo munda me. R. Ut tu, Deus, deleas iniquitátem meam.

R. O Lord, judge me not according to my works; for I have done nothing that can be counted in respect of thee. I beseech thy majesty therefore, that thou wouldest * Blot out my transgressions, O God.
