¹Lord, I cry out to you from the depths of my pain.[#130:1 “Of my pain”: implied.]

²Please listen to my cry, and pay attention to what I'm asking.

³Lord, if you kept a list of sins, who could escape being condemned?

⁴But you are forgiving so that we might respect you.

⁵I'm waiting for the Lord, longingly waiting, for I trust in his word.

⁶I long for the Lord to come, more than watchmen longing for the dawn to come, more than watchmen longing for the dawn to come.

⁷Israel, put your hope in the Lord, for the Lord loves us with a trustworthy love and his salvation knows no limits.

⁸He will save Israel from every sin.
