Popule Meus, also known as the 'Improperia' or the 'Reproaches,' is the hymn sung after the Adoration of the Cross on Good Friday. Here Christ reproaches the Chosen People, contrasting the innumerable favors God has bestowed upon them with the injuries He has received from their hands. Where God led them to the Chosen Land, the Jews led Him to the Cross. Where God gave a royal scepter, the Jews returned a crown of thorns.

English translation text:
O my people, what have I done to you?
Or wherein have I grieved you?
Answer me.
O Holy God. O Holy God.
O Holy Strong One. O Holy Strong One.
O Holy and Immortal, have mercy upon us.
O Holy and Immortal, have mercy upon us.
Because I led you out of the land of Egypt:
You have prepared a Cross for your Saviour.
O Holy God. O Holy God.
O Holy Strong One. O Holy Strong One.
O Holy and Immortal, have mercy upon us.
O Holy and Immortal, have mercy upon us.
