Latin text: Emendemus in melius quae ignoranter peccavimus; ne subito praeoccupati die mortis, quaeramus spatium poenitentiae, et invenire non possimus. Attende, Domine, et miserere; quia peccavimus tibi. (Bar: 3,2) Versus: Adjuva nos, Deus salutaris noster, et propter honorem[gloriam] nominis tui libera nos. (Ps. 79:9a) Peccavimus cum patribus nostris, iniuste egimus, iniquitatem fecimus. (Ps. 106:6) Memento, homo quia pulvis es et in pulverem reverteris. (Gen. 3:19) English: Let us amend for the better in those things in which we have sinned through ignorance; lest suddenly overtaken by the day of death, we seek space for repentance and be not able to find it. Hearken, O Lord, and have mercy: for we have sinned against thee. (Baruk 3,2) Verse: Help us, O God of our salvation, and for the honour[glory] of thy name deliver us. (Psalm 79:9a) Alternate verses: We have sinned like our fathers, we have acted unjustly and done wrong. (Psalm 106:6) Remember, O man, that thou art dust, and to dust thou shalt return. (Genesis 3:19)
