1Out of the depths I cry to thee, O Lord !
2Lord, hear my voice!
Let thy ears be attentive
to the voice of my supplications!
3If thou, O Lord , shouldst mark iniquities,[#Ps 143.2; Rom 3.20; Gal 2.16.]
Lord, who could stand?
4But there is forgiveness with thee,
that thou mayest be feared.
5I wait for the Lord , my soul waits,
and in his word I hope;
6my soul waits for the Lord
more than watchmen for the morning,
more than watchmen for the morning.
7O Israel, hope in the Lord !
For with the Lord there is steadfast love,
and with him is plenteous redemption.
8And he will redeem Israel
from all his iniquities.
