Psalm cxxix (130) – De profundis clamavi ad te, Domine. (Out of the depths I have cried to thee, O Lord.) Psalm cxlii (143) – Domine, exaudi orationem meam: auribus percipe obsecrationem meam in veritate tua. (Hear, O Lord, my prayer: give ear to my supplication in thy truth.) These psalms are expressive of sorrow for sin.
The slow movement, named De profundis clamavi after Psalm 130, is in contrast meditative and lyrical. The finale, named after the Dona nobis pacem from the Mass, is more episodic, with an insistent, brutal marching rhythm building to a dissonant climax, before a long, lyrical coda concludes the work.
De profundis is in one movement, set for a male choir in four parts, organ and percussion. The optional percussion might be bass drum, tam-tam and a single tubular bell. [4] [5] The organ provides in deep registers a slow continuous ostinato pattern. [6] Pärt built the voices from simple melodic phrases, increasing gradually to a climax.

De Profundis is a two-player game in which players create the game's narrative by writing each other letters in the style of horror author H. P. Lovecraft. (Designer Michal Oracz wrote the sourcebook as a series of letters in Lovecraftian style which tell of the transcription of a game that the author of the letters saw in a dream.) [1] The game has almost no role-playing game mechanics.
