Tap a verse to highlight it

1 Out of the depths, have I cried unto thee, O Yahweh.

2 O My Lord! hearken thou unto my voice,—Let thine ears be attentive to the voice of my supplications,

3 If, iniquities, thou shouldest mark, O Yah, O My Lord, who could stand?

4 But, with thee, is forgiveness, that thou mayest be revered.

5 I have waited for Yahweh, My soul hath waited for his word;

6 I have hoped, O my soul, for My Lord, more than they who watch for the morning, who watch for the morning.

7 Wait, O Israel, for Yahweh,—for, with Yahweh, is lovingkindness, and there aboundeth with him—redemption.

8 He, therefore, will redeem Israel from all his iniquities.
