Best Answer

Hosanna is originally from Hebrew and means "save, we pray". Because it was said by the crowds greeting Jesus' entry into Jerusalem, it came to be used in Christian Latin as a general term of praise, and it is usually left untranslated in modern Bibles and liturgical texts.

The primary meaning of profundus is "deep", so Hosanna in profundis would be "Hosanna in the deep places", or "Hosanna in the depths". However, profundus can also be used in Latin to mean "high", so Hosanna in profundis could conceivably also, if the context permitted it, be translated "Hosanna in the high places" or "Hosanna on the heights".
