Gregorian Chant Prayer | De Profundis - My Soul Waits for the Dawn | Music for Prayer & Peace Beyond the noise of the world, there is silence. Beyond silence, there is prayer. De Profundis is a Latin prayer chant inspired by Psalm 129 (130 in the Hebrew numbering), the ancient cry of a soul calling out from the deepest darkness. It speaks of waiting like the watchman who waits for the dawn, trusting that with God there is mercy, and with Him, abundant redemption. The lyrics are a free adaptation of the psalm. May this chant lead you into silence — and may silence lead you to prayer. Ora. Contempla. Permane.

Inclina aurem tuam mihi, ne avertas faciem, Deus meus. Si culpas meas numerares, quis staret ante faciem tuam? Sed in te manet pietas, et ideo te reverebor. Exspecto te, lumen meum, exspectat anima mea. Tua verba, spes mea est, in nocte tacita te exspecto. Sicut vigil exspectat diluculum, sicut custos exspectat lucem, sic exspectet populus tuus. Penes te est misericordia, penes te redemptio larga. Tu solves vincula populi tui, et culpas eius lavabis. Exspecto te, lumen meum, exspectat anima mea. Tua verba, spes mea est, in nocte tacita te exspecto. Da nobis pacem, Domine, in luce tua quiescere. LYRICS (English Translation) From the abyss I call to you, Father, hear the voice of my weeping soul. Incline your ear to me, do not turn your face away, my God. If you were to count my faults, who could stand before your face? But in you dwells mercy, and so I will revere you. I wait for you, my light, my soul waits. Your word is my hope, in the silent night I wait for you. As the watchman waits for the dawn, as the guard waits for the light, so may your people wait. With you is mercy, with you is abundant redemption. You will loosen the chains of your people and wash away their faults. I wait for you, my light, my soul waits. Your word is my hope, in the silent night I wait for you. Give us peace, Lord, to rest in your light.
