1 “Lord Almighty, God of Israel, the anguished soul, the dismayed spirit cries out to you.
2 Hear, Lord, and have mercy, for you are a merciful God; have mercy on us, who have sinned against you:
3 for you are enthroned forever, while we are perishing forever.
4 Lord Almighty, God of Israel, hear the prayer of the dead of Israel, children who sinned against you; they did not listen to the voice of the Lord, their God, and their evils cling to us.
