1 A Song of the Ascents. From depths I have called Thee, Jehovah.2 Lord, hearken to my voice, Thine ears are attentive to the voice of my supplications.3 If iniquities Thou dost observe, O Lord, who doth stand?4 But with Thee [is] forgiveness, that Thou mayest be feared.5 I hoped [for] Jehovah -- hoped hath my soul, And for His word I have waited.6 My soul [is] for the Lord, More than those watching for morning, Watching for morning!7 Israel doth wait on Jehovah, For with Jehovah [is] kindness, And abundant with Him [is] redemption.8 And He doth redeem Israel from all his iniquities!

1 Out of the depths have I cried unto thee, O LORD.

2 Lord, hear my voice: let thine 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 looketh for the Lord, more than watchmen look for the morning; yea, more than watchmen for the morning.

7 O 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.
