Miserere Mei • from Psalm 50 (Tenebrae)

Composer — Alexander Uttendal (1530-1581)

Miserere mei Deus
secundum magnam misericordiam tuam
Have mercy on me, O God,
according to thy great mercy.
et secundum multitudinem miserationum
tuarum dele iniquitatem meam
And according to the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my iniquity.
Amplius lava me ab iniquitate mea
et a peccato meo munda me
Wash me yet more from my iniquity,
and cleanse me from my sin.
Quoniam iniquitatem meam ego cognosco
et peccatum meum contra me est semper
 For I know my iniquity,
and my sin is always before me.
