1A song of ascents.
Out of the depths I call to you, Lord ;
2Lord, hear my cry!
May your ears be attentive
to my cry for mercy.
3If you, Lord , keep account of sins,
Lord, who can stand?
4But with you is forgiveness
and so you are revered.
5I wait for the Lord ,
my soul waits
and I hope for his word.
6My soul looks for the Lord
more than sentinels for daybreak.
More than sentinels for daybreak,
7let Israel hope in the Lord ,
For with the Lord is mercy,
with him is plenteous redemption,
8And he will redeem Israel
from all its sins.
