1 From a sea of troubles

I cry out to you, Lord.

2 Won't you please listen

as I beg for mercy?

3 If you kept record of our sins,

no one could last long.

4 But you forgive us,

and so we will worship you.

5 With all my heart,

I am waiting, Lord, for you!

I trust your promises.

6 I wait for you more eagerly

than a soldier on guard duty

waits for the dawn.

Yes, I wait more eagerly

than a soldier on guard duty

waits for the dawn.

7 Israel, trust the Lord!

God is always merciful

and has the power to save you.

8 * Israel, the Lord will save you

from all your sins.
