1 Out of the depths I cry to you, Lord;
2 Lord, hear my voice.Let your ears be attentiveto my cry for mercy.
3 If you, Lord, kept a record of sins,Lord, who could stand?
4 But with you there is forgiveness,so that we can, with reverence, serve you.
5 I wait for the Lord, my whole being waits,and in his word I put my hope.
6 I wait for the Lordmore than watchmen wait for the morning,more than watchmen wait for the morning.
7 Israel, put your hope in the Lord,for with the Lord is unfailing loveand with him is full redemption.
8 He himself will redeem Israelfrom all their sins.
