V.May they rest in peace.

V.May their souls, and the souls of all the faithful departed,

De Profundis (Psalm 130)
Numbered 129 in the Douay-Rheims. Traditionally prayed for the dead, and one of the seven penitential psalms.
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.
