1“A psalm of the steps, or the goings up.” Out of the depths do I cry to thee, O LORD!

2O Lord! listen to my voice, Let thine ears be attentive to my supplication!

3If thou, LORD, shouldst treasure up transgressions, Lord, who could stand?

4But with thee is forgiveness, That thou mayst be feared.

5I trust in the LORD; my soul doth trust, And in his promise do I confide.

6My soul waiteth for the LORD More than they who watch for the morning; Yea, more than they who watch for the morning!

7O Israel! trust in the LORD! For with the LORD is mercy, And with him is plenteous redemption.

8He will redeem Israel From all his iniquities.
