2 Lord, hear my cry!May your ears be attentiveto my cry for mercy.
3 If you, Lord, keep account of sins,Lord, who can stand?
4 But with you is forgivenessand so you are revered.
5 I wait for the Lord,my soul waitsand I hope for his word.
6 My soul looks for the Lordmore than sentinels for daybreak.More than sentinels for daybreak,
7 let Israel hope in the Lord,For with the Lord is mercy,with him is plenteous redemption,
8 And he will redeem Israelfrom all its sins.
