1 耶和华啊! 我从深处向你呼求。(本节在《马索拉抄本》包括细字标题)

2 主啊! 求你听我的声音, 求你留心听我恳求的声音。

3 耶和华啊! 如果你究察罪孽, 主啊! 谁能站立得住呢?

4 但你有赦免之恩, 为要使人敬畏你。

5 我等候耶和华, 我的心等候他, 我仰望他的话。

6 我的心等候主, 比守夜的等候天亮还迫切, 比守夜的等候天亮还迫切。

7 以色列啊! 你要仰望耶和华, 因为耶和华有慈爱, 也有丰盛的救恩。

8 他必救赎以色列, 脱离一切罪孽。

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.
