1 Lord, I am in deep trouble, so I am calling to you for help.
2 My Lord, listen to me. Listen to my cry for help.
3 Lord, if you punished people for all their sins, no one would be left alive.
4 But you forgive people, so they fear and respect you.
5 I am waiting for the Lord to help me. My soul waits for him. I trust what he says.
6 I am waiting for my Lord, like a guard waiting and waiting for the morning to come.
7 Israel, trust in the Lord. The Lord is the one who is faithful and true. He saves us again and again,
