1A SONG OF THE ASCENTS. I have called You from the depths, YHWH.

2Lord, listen to my voice, || Your ears are attentive to the voice of my supplications.

3If You observe iniquities, Lord YAH, who stands?

4But forgiveness [is] with You, that You may be feared.

5I hoped [for] YHWH—my soul has hoped, || And I have waited for His word.

6My soul [is] for the Lord, || More than those watching for morning, || Watching for morning!

7Israel waits on YHWH, || For kindness [is] with YHWH, || And redemption [is] abundant with Him.

8And He redeems Israel from all his iniquities!
