✧A song of ascents. Out of the depths I cry to You, O LORD! ✧2O Lord, hear my voice; let Your ears be attentive to my plea for mercy. ✧3If You, O LORD, kept track of iniquities, then who, O Lord, could stand? ✧4But with You there is forgiveness, so that You may be feared. ✧5I wait for the LORD; my soul does wait, and in His word I put my hope. ✧6My soul waits for the Lord more than watchmen wait for the morning— more than watchmen wait for the morning. ✧7O Israel, put your hope in the LORD, for with the LORD is loving devotion, and with Him is redemption in abundance. ✧8And He will redeem Israel from all iniquity.
