1 A Song of Ascents. Out of the depths I have cried to You, LORD.
2 Lord, hear my voice! Let Your ears be attentive To the sound of my pleadings.
3 If You, LORD, were to keep account of guilty deeds, Lord, who could stand?
4 But there is forgiveness with You, So that You may be revered.
5 I wait for the LORD, my soul waits, And I wait for His word.
6 My soul waits in hope for the Lord More than the watchmen for the morning; Yes, more than the watchmen for the morning.
7 Israel, wait for the LORD; For with the LORD there is mercy, And with Him is abundant redemption.
8 And He will redeem Israel From all his guilty deeds.
