1 A Song of degrees. Out of the depths have I cried to thee, O LORD.
2 Lord, hear my voice: let thy ears be attentive to the voice of my supplications.
3 If thou, LORD, shouldest mark iniquities, O Lord, who shall stand?
4 But there is forgiveness with thee, that thou mayest be feared.
5 I wait for the LORD, my soul doth wait, and in his word do I hope.
