1Out of the depths I cry to you, Yahweh.

2Lord, hear my voice;
let your ears be attentive
to my pleas for mercy.

3If you, Yahweh, would mark iniquities,
Lord, who could stand?

4But there is forgiveness with you,
that you may be revered.

5I wait for Yahweh, my soul waits,
and in his word I hope.

6My soul waits for the Lord
more than watchmen wait for the morning.

7Israel, hope in Yahweh.
Yahweh is merciful,
and he is very willing to forgive.

8It is he who will redeem Israel
from all his sins.
