Original text and translations

French text

Misericorde au povre vicieux,
Dieu tout puissant selon ta grand’ clemence,
Us’ à ce coup de ta bonté immense,
Pour effacer mon faict pernicieux :
Lave moy, Sire, et relave bien fort,
De ma commis’ iniquité mauvaise :
Et du peché qui m’a rendu si ord,
Me nettoyer d’eau de grace te plaise.

English translation

Have mercy on the poor sinner,
Almighty God, in your clement kindness;
Employ your great goodness now
To blot out my heinous sins.
Bathe me, o Lord, and wash me clean
Of the iniquities I have committed;
Rinse away the sins that rendered me so foul
With the water of grace.
