Original text and translations

English text

Almighty and everlasting God, who hatest nothing that thou hast made and dost forgive the sins of all them that are penitent: Create and make in us new and contrite hearts, that we, worthily lamenting our sins and acknowledging our wretchedness, may obtain of thee, the God of all mercy, perfect remission and forgiveness; through Jesus Christ. Amen.

Latin translation

Omnipotens aeterne Deus, qui nihil odisti eorum quae fecisti, et remittis peccata omnibus pœnitentibus: crea in nobis cor contritum, ut digne peccata nostra defleamus, et agnoscamus iniquitates nostras, et a te Deo omnis misericordiae perfectam peccatorum remissionem consequamur. Per Jesum Christum. Amen.

German translation

Allmächtiger und ewiger Gott, der Du nichts hassest was Du gemacht hast, und allen Bußfertigen die Sünden vergiebst: Schaffe in uns neue und bußfertige Herzen, auf daß wir in würdiger Trauer über unsere Sünden und wahrer Erkenntniß unseres Elends von Dir, dem Gott aller Barmherzigkeit, Nachlaß und völlige Vergebung erlangen mögen; durch Jesum Christum. Amen.

Spanish translation

Omnipotente y Eterno Dios, que no sientes aversión por nada de lo que has creado, y que perdonas a los que con verdadera fe se arrepienten; Crea en nos otros contritos corazones, y concédenos perfecto perdón ¡oh Dios de toda misericordia! a los que lamentamos nuestros pecados y reconocemos nuestra miseria; por Jesucristo. Amén.

Italian translation

Onnipotente ed eterno Iddio, il quale non odii alcuna delle cose che hai fatto, e perdoni i peccati di tutti coloro che si pentono; Crea e forma in noi nuovi e contriti cuori; sicchè degnamente piangendo i nostri peccati, e riconoscendo la nostra miseria, ne otteniamo da te, l’ Iddio di tutte le misericordie; piena remissione, e perdono; per Gesù Cristo. Amen.
