1. O Lord Almighty, you God of Israel, the soul in anguish, the troubled spirit, cries to you.
2. Hear, O Lord, and have mercy; for you are a merciful God: yes, have mercy upon us, because we have sinned before you.
3. For you sit as king for ever, and we perish evermore.
4. O Lord Almighty, you God of Israel, hear now the prayer of the dead Israelites, and of the children of them which were sinners before you, that hearkened not to the voice of you their God: for the which cause these plagues clave to us.
