1 A Song of Ascents. Out of the depths I have cried to you, LORD.

2 Lord, hear my voice. Let your ears be attentive to the voice of my petitions.

3 If you, LORD, kept a record of sins, Lord, who could stand?

4 But there is forgiveness with you, therefore you are feared.

5 I wait for the LORD. My soul waits. I hope in his word.

6 My soul longs for the Lord more than watchmen long for the morning, more than watchmen for the morning.

7 Israel, hope in the LORD, for there is loving kindness with the LORD. Abundant redemption is with him.

8 He will redeem Israel from all their sins.
