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 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.
