A Song of Ascents.

1 Out of the depths have I cried unto thee, O Jehovah.

2 Lord, hear my voice:

Let thine ears be attentive

To the voice of my supplications.

3 If thou, Jehovah, shouldest mark iniquities,

O Lord, who could stand?

4 But there is forgiveness with thee,

That thou mayest be feared.

5 I wait for Jehovah, my soul doth wait,

And in his word do I hope.

6 My soul waiteth for the Lord

More than watchmen wait for the morning;

Yea, more than watchmen for the morning.

7 O Israel, hope in Jehovah;

For with Jehovah there is lovingkindness,

And with him is plenteous redemption.

8 And he will redeem Israel

From all his iniquities.

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

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

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

4 But with Thee [is] forgiveness, that Thou mayest be feared.

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

6 My soul [is] for the Lord, More than those watching for morning, Watching for morning!

7 Israel doth wait on Jehovah, For with Jehovah [is] kindness, And abundant with Him [is] redemption.

8 And He doth redeem Israel from all his iniquities!
