Out of the depths I cry to you, O LORD!

2  O Lord, hear my voice!

Let your ears be attentive

to the voice of my pleas for mercy!

3  If you, O LORD, should mark iniquities,

O Lord, who could stand?

4  But with you there is forgiveness,

that you may be feared.

5  I wait for the LORD, my soul waits,

and in his word I hope;

6  my soul waits for the Lord

more than watchmen for the morning,

more than watchmen for the morning.

7  O Israel, hope in the LORD!

For with the LORD there is steadfast love,

and with him is plentiful redemption.

8  And he will redeem Israel

from all his iniquities.
