¹A Song of degrees. Out of the depths I have cried to You, O LORD. ²Lord, hear my voice, and let Your ears listen to the voice of My prayers. ³If You will keep in mind iniquities, O Jehovah, who shall stand, O Lord? ⁴But there is forgiveness with You, that You may be feared. ⁵I wait for the LORD, my soul waits, and in His word I hope. ⁶My soul waits for the LORD more than morning-watchers who are watching for the morning. ⁷Let Israel hope in the LORD; for with the LORD there is mercy, and with Him is plentiful redemption. ⁸And He shall redeem Israel from all his iniquities.
