Latin text
Tribulationes civitatum audivimus quas passae sunt, et deficimus. Timor et hebetudo mentis cecidit super nos et super liberos nostros. Domine miserere.
Peccavimus cum patribus nostris, iniuste egimus, iniquitatem fecimus. Domine miserere.
English translation
by Edward Tambling
We have heard the tribulations which the cities have suffered, and we have wasted away. Fear and dullness of mind have fallen upon us and our children. O Lord, have mercy.
We have sinned like our fathers, we have acted unfairly and done wrong. O Lord, have mercy.
