Waiting for Divine Redemption

A Song of Ascents.

1Out of the depths I cry to you, O LORD.

2Lord, hear my voice!

Let your ears be attentive

to the voice of my supplications!

3If you, O LORD, should mark iniquities,

Lord, who could stand?

4But there is forgiveness with you,

so that you may be revered.

5I wait for the LORD, my soul waits,

and in his word I hope;

6my soul waits for the Lord

more than those who watch for the morning,

more than those who watch for the morning.

7O Israel, hope in the LORD!

For with the LORD there is steadfast love,

and with him is great power to redeem.

8It is he who will redeem Israel

from all its iniquities.
