1 A Song of degrees. Out of the depths have I cried to thee, O LORD.2 Lord, hear my voice: let thy ears be attentive to the voice of my supplications.3 If thou, LORD, shouldest mark iniquities, O Lord, who shall stand?4 But there is forgiveness with thee, that thou mayest be feared.5 I wait for the LORD, my soul doth wait, and in his word do I hope.6 My soul waiteth for the Lord more than they that watch for the morning: I say, more than they that watch for the morning.7 Let Israel hope in the LORD: for with the LORD there is mercy, and with him is plenteous redemption.8 And he shall redeem Israel from all his iniquities.
