1 A Song of Ascents.

2 Out of the depths I cry to thee, O LORD!

3 Lord, hear my voice! Let thy ears be attentive to the voice of my supplications!

4 If thou, O LORD, shouldst mark iniquities, Lord, who could stand?

5 But there is forgiveness with thee, that thou mayest be feared.

6 I wait for the LORD, my soul waits, and in his word I hope;

7 my soul waits for the LORD more than watchmen for the morning, more than watchmen for the morning.

8 O Israel, hope in the LORD! For with the LORD there is steadfast love, and with him is plenteous redemption. [ (Psalms 130:9) And he will redeem Israel from all his iniquities. ]
