In fine, returning to the place where he is to lay aside his vestments, the priest recites with his attendants the Psalm, De profundis, for all the holy souls suffering in Purgatory.
ANT. If thou shalt observe iniquities.
Psalm 129
OUT of the depths I have cried to thee O Lord: Lord hear my voice.
Let thine ears be attentive to the voice of my supplication.
If thou, O Lord, wilt mark iniquities; Lord who shall abide it?
Because with thee there is merciful forgiveness; and by reason of thy law I have waited for thee, O Lord.
My soul hath relied on his word; my soul hath hoped in the Lord.
From the morning watch even until night, let Israel hope in the Lord.
Because with the Lord there is mercy, and with him plentiful redemption.
And he shall redeem Israel from all her iniquities.
