1A Song of Degrees. Out of the depths have I cried to thee, O Lord.
2O Lord, hearken to my voice; Let thine ears be attentive To the voice of my supplication.
3If thou, O Lord, shouldest mark iniquities, O Lord, who shall stand?
4For with thee is forgiveness: For thy name’s sake
5have I waited for thee, O Lord, My soul has waited for thy word.
6My soul has hoped in the Lord; From the morning watch till night.
7Let Israel hope in the Lord: For with the Lord is mercy, And with him is plenteous redemption.
8And he shall redeem Israel From all his iniquities.
