From lowest depths of woe by John Broderip — Lyrics
Canticum graduum. De profundis clamavi ad te, Domine;
Domine, exaudi vocem meam.
Fiant aures tuae intendentes in vocem deprecationis meae.
Si iniquitates observaveris, Domine, Domine, quis sustinebit?
Quia apud te propitiatio est; et propter legem tuam sustinui te, Domine.

About From lowest depths of woe
From the lowest depths of woe draws its text from Psalm 129, a powerful prayer for mercy. The Latin words express a cry from the depths of despair to God, seeking forgiveness and redemption. The composer John Broderip sets this profound text for SATB choir. The resulting music, sung in both the original Latin and an English translation, offers a moving reflection on penitence and hope, a plea for divine compassion in times of trial. It is a solemn and heartfelt expression of faith.
