A Song of Ascents.

1Out of the depths I have cried to You, O LORD.

2Lord, hear my voice!
         Let Your ears be attentive
         To the voice of my supplications.

3If You, LORD, should mark iniquities,
         O Lord, who could stand?

4But there is forgiveness with You,
         That You may be feared.

5I wait for the LORD, my soul does wait,
         And in His word do I hope.

6My soul waits for the Lord
         More than the watchmen for the morning;
         Indeed, more than the watchmen for the morning.

7O Israel, hope in the LORD;
         For with the LORD there is lovingkindness,
         And with Him is abundant redemption.

8And He will redeem Israel
         From all his iniquities.
