1A song of the ascents. Out of the depths I called to you, O LORD.2O Lord, hear my voice; let your ears be attentive to the voice of my supplications.3If you keep iniquities, O LORD, my Lord, who can stand?4For forgiveness belongs to you, so that you may be feared.5I waited for the LORD; my soul waited, and for his word I waited.6My soul waits for the LORD more than watchmen wait for the morning, more than watchmen wait for the morning.7O Israel, wait for the LORD, for with the LORD there is kindness, and with him there is abundant redemption.8And he will ransom Israel from all its iniquities.
