1 [A Song of degrees.] Out of the depths do I call upon thee, Jehovah.2 Lord, hear my voice; let thine ears be attentive to the voice of my supplication.3 If thou, Jah, shouldest mark iniquities, Lord, who shall 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 the watchers {wait} for the morning, {more than} the watchers for the morning.7 Let Israel hope in Jehovah, because with Jehovah there is loving-kindness, and with him is plenteous redemption;8 And he will redeem Israel from all his iniquities.

1 'n Bedevaartslied. Uit die dieptes roep ek U aan, o HERE!2 Here, hoor na my stem; laat u ore luister na die stem van my smekinge.3 As U, HERE, die ongeregtighede in gedagtenis hou, Here, wie sal bestaan?4 Maar by U is vergewing, dat U gevrees mag word.5 Ek wag op die HERE; my siel wag, en ek hoop op sy woord.6 My siel wag op die Here meer as wagters op die môre , wagters op die môre .7 Wag op die HERE, o Israel! want by die HERE is die goedertierenheid, en by Hom is daar veel verlossing;8 en Hy self sal Israel verlos van al sy ongeregtighede.
