2 my Lord, listen to my voice!Let your ears pay close attention to my request for mercy!
3 If you kept track of sins, Lord—my Lord, who would stand a chance?
4 But forgiveness is with you—that’s why you are honored.
5 I hope, Lord.My whole being hopes,and I wait for God’s promise.
6 My whole being waits for my Lord—more than the night watch waits for morning;yes, more than the night watch waits for morning!
7 Israel, wait for the Lord!Because faithful love is with the Lord;because great redemption is with our God!
8 He is the one who will redeem Israelfrom all its sin.
