| 1 A song of ascents. Out of the depths I cry to you, O LORD; |
| 2 O Lord, hear my voice. Let your ears be attentive to my cry for mercy. |
| 3 If you, O LORD, kept a record of sins, O Lord, who could stand? |
| 4 But with you there is forgiveness; therefore you are feared. |
| 5 I wait for the LORD, my soul waits, and in his word I put my hope. |
| 6 My soul waits for the Lord more than watchmen wait for the morning, more than watchmen wait for the morning. |
| 7 O Israel, put your hope in the LORD, for with the LORD is unfailing love and with him is full redemption. |
| 8 He himself will redeem Israel from all their sins. |
