1 A Song of Ascents. OUT OF the depths have I cried to You, O Lord.
2 Lord, hear my voice; let Your ears be attentive to the voice of my supplications.
3 If You, Lord, should keep account of and treat us according to our sins, O Lord, who could stand? Ps. 143:2; Rom. 3:20; Gal. 2:16.
4 But there is forgiveness with You just what man needs, that You may be reverently feared and worshiped. Deut. 10:12.
5 I wait for the Lord, I expectantly wait, and in His word do I hope.
6 I am looking and waiting for the Lord more than watchmen for the morning, I say, more than watchmen for the morning.
7 O Israel, hope in the Lord! For with the Lord there is mercy and loving-kindness, and with Him is plenteous redemption.
8 And He will redeem Israel from all their iniquities.
