Emendemus in melius quae ignoranter peccavimus;

Attende, Domine, et miserere; quia peccavimus tibi. (cf. Bar. 3:2)

Adjuva nos, Deus salutaris noster, et propter honorem[gloriam] nominis tui libera nos. (Ps. 78:9a)

English.png English translation

Let us amend for the better in those things in which we have sinned through ignorance;
lest suddenly overtaken by the day of death,
 we seek space for repentance, and be not able to find it.
Hearken, O Lord, and have mercy: for we have sinned against thee.

Verse:
Help us, O God of our salvation, and for the honour[glory] of thy name deliver us. Psalm 79:9a

106:6  We have sinned like our fathers, we have acted unjustly and done wrong.Psalm 106:6
