1A Song of degrees. Out of the depths I have cried to You, O LORD. 2Lord, hear my voice, and let Your ears listen to the voice of My prayers. 3If You will keep [in mind] iniquities, O Jehovah, who shall stand, O Lord? 4But [there is] forgiveness with You, that You may be feared. 5I wait [for] the LORD, my soul waits, and in His word I hope. 6My soul [waits] for the LORD more than morning-watchers who are watching for the morning. 7Let Israel hope in the LORD; for with the LORD [there is] mercy, and with Him [is] plentiful redemption. 8And He shall redeem Israel from all his iniquities.
