Original text and translations

Latin text Sustinuímus pacem, et non venit;    quaesívimus bona, et ecce turbátio. Cognóscimus, Dómine, peccáta nostra:    non in perpétuum obliviscáris nos. Nos álium deum nescímus, praeter Dóminum    in quo sperámus, qui non despíciet nos,    nec amovébit salútem a génere nostro. Fiat pax in virtúte tua. [Cantus firmus: Da pacem, Dómine, in diébus nostris.]

English translation We have waited for peace, and it has not come;    we have sought what is good, and behold trouble. We acknowledge our sins, O Lord:    do not forget us forever. We know no other god, but the Lord    in whom we trust, who will not despise us,    nor withhold salvation from our people. Let peace be within thy strength. [Give peace in our time, O Lord.]
