Psalm 129 / 130, De Profundis

A gradual canticle. Out of the depths I have cried to thee, O Lord:

Lord, hear my voice. Let thy ears be attentive to the voice of my supplication.

If thou, O Lord, wilt mark iniquities: Lord, who shall stand it.

For 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 his iniquities.

What the back of the card promises

The words are the edition’s words, letter for letter, which is why they cannot be edited here. Under them the card names the edition and its year, says how the wording was checked, and prints this text’s address and version. A correction to the text, if one is ever made, is listed with its date at makeaprayer.com/corrections, so anyone holding a card years from now can check it.

Nobody credentialed in the tradition has chosen this prayer for a funeral or signed this card. It is a faithful copy of a text, not advice about which text to use. The family’s parish, temple or minister can say what their tradition expects.

The name, the dates and the photo exist only in this browser tab. Nothing is uploaded or saved, and closing the tab discards them. The PDF is your browser’s own Save as PDF, so the card is made on your computer and never on ours. What this site keeps.
