It's all Greek to me...
but it translates to "Lord, have mercy" and is a part of the liturgy in many denominations of the Christian church. The concept of mercy from God really doesn't need much of an explanation as it implies not receiving punishment for that which we have done that merits punishment.

What about it? It's a prayer, originally in the Roman Catholic church, entreating God to have mercy (literally, "O Lord", from the Greek kyrios). It is used in several forms, depending on the liturgy followed, as part of the mass. It appears as part of musical pieces composed for use during mass, including requiems.
