A Song of ascents.

1Out of the depths I cry to thee, O LORD!

2Lord, hear my voice!

Let thy ears be attentive

to the voice of my supplications!

3130.3: Ps 143.2; Rom 3.20; Gal 2.16.If thou, O LORD, shouldst mark iniquities,

Lord, who could stand?

4But there is forgiveness with thee,

that thou mayest be feared.

5I wait for the LORD, my soul waits,

and in his word I hope;

6my soul waits for the LORD

more than watchmen for the morning,

more than watchmen for the morning.

7O Israel, hope in the LORD!

For with the LORD there is steadfast love,

and with him is plenteous redemption.

8And he will redeem Israel

from all his iniquities.
