A Song of Ascents.

1 Out of the depths I have cried to You, Lord.

2 Lord, hear my voice!

Let Your ears be attentive

To the sound of my pleadings.

3 If You, *130:3 Heb YahLord, were to keep account of guilty deeds,

Lord, who could stand?

4 But there is forgiveness with You,

So that You may be *130:4 Or fearedrevered.

5 I wait for the Lord, my soul waits,

And I *130:5 Or hope inwait for His word.

6 My soul waits in hope for the Lord

More than the watchmen for the morning;

Yes, more than the watchmen for the morning.

7 Israel, wait for the Lord;

For with the Lord there is mercy,

And with Him is abundant redemption.

8 And He will redeem Israel

From all his guilty deeds.
