1 A song of the degrees. Out of the depths have I called thee, O Lord.2 Lord, listen to my voice: let thy ears be attentive to the voice of my supplications.3 If thou, Lord, shouldst treasure up iniquities, O Lord, who would be able to stand?4 But with thee there is forgiveness, in order that thou mayest be feared.5 I hope for the Lord, my soul doth hope, and for his word do I wait.6 My soul waiteth for the Lord, more than they that watch for the morning expect the morning.7 Let Israel wait for the Lord; for with the Lord there is kindness, and with him is redemption in abundance;8 And he wilt surely redeem Israel from all his iniquities.
