A Short Act of Contrition

Verba mea auribus percipe, quoniam non Deus volens iniquitatem tu es

Listen to my words, for you are not a God who delights in wickedness.

Miserere mei, Deus, secundum magnam misericordiam tuam

Have mercy on me, O God, according to your steadfast love.

Deus, in nomine tuo, salvame & in virtutem tuam iudicame

God, in your name, save me, and in your strength, judge me.

Ecce enim Deus auxiliatur mihi

For behold, God is my helper.

Sub praesidium tuum nos confugimus, Deus omnipotens nostrum

We take refuge under your protection, our Almighty God,

Quia in te pacem invenimus, teque salus habemus

For in you we find peace, and in you we have salvation.
