1 O ut of the depths have I cried to You, O Lord.

A Song of the Ascents. From depths I have called Thee, Jehovah.

2 L ord, hear my voice; let Your ears be attentive to the voice of my supplications.

Lord, hearken to my voice, Thine ears are attentive to the voice of my supplications.

3 I f You, Lord, should keep account of and treat sins, O Lord, who could stand?

If iniquities Thou dost observe, O Lord, who doth stand?

4 B ut there is forgiveness with You, that You may be reverently feared and worshiped.

But with Thee forgiveness, that Thou mayest be feared.

5 I wait for the Lord, I expectantly wait, and in His word do I hope.

I hoped Jehovah -- hoped hath my soul, And for His word I have waited.

6 I am looking and waiting for the Lord more than watchmen for the morning, I say, more than watchmen for the morning.

My soul for the Lord, More than those watching for morning, Watching for morning!

7 O Israel, hope in the Lord! For with the Lord there is mercy and loving-kindness, and with Him is plenteous redemption.

Israel doth wait on Jehovah, For with Jehovah kindness, And abundant with Him redemption.

8 A nd He will redeem Israel from all their iniquities.

And He doth redeem Israel from all his iniquities!
