1 Out of the depths I have cried to thee, O Jehovah.
2 Lord, hear my voice. Let thine ears be attentive to the voice of my supplications.
3 If thou, Jehovah, should note iniquities, O Lord, who could stand?
4 But there is forgiveness with thee, that thou may be feared.
5 I wait for Jehovah. My soul waits, and in his word do I hope,
6 my soul for the Lord more than watchmen for the morning, watchmen for the morning.
7 O Israel, hope in Jehovah, for with Jehovah there is loving kindness, and with him is plentiful redemption.
8 And he will redeem Israel from all his iniquities.
