1 Yahweh, I have a lot of troubles/many difficulties, so I call out to you.

2 Yahweh, hear me,

while I call out to you [SYN] to be merciful to me!

3 Yahweh, if you kept a record of the sins that we have committed,

not one of us [RHQ] would escape from being condemned and punished

4 But you forgive us,

with the result that we greatly revere you.

5 Yahweh has said that he would help/rescue me;

I trust what he said, and I wait eagerly for him to do that.

6 I wait for Yahweh to help me

more than watchmen wait for the light to dawn;

yes, I wait more eagerly than they do!

7 You my fellow Israelis, confidently expect that Yahweh will bless us.

He will bless us because he faithfully loves us,

and he is very willing to save/rescue us.

8 And he will save us Israeli people from being punished for all the sins that we have committed.
