Miserere Mei, Deus (ALLEGRI)
"Have mercy upon me, O God, according to Thy unfailing love. According to the multitude of Thy mercies do away mine offences. Wash me thoroughly from my wickedness: and cleanse me from my sin. For I acknowledge my faults: and my sin is ever before me. Against Thee only have I sinned, and done this evil in thy sight: that Thou mightest be justified in Thy saying, and clear when Thou art judged..." -Psalm 51
