1A Song of Degrees. Out of the depths have I cried to thee, O Lord.

2O Lord, hearken to my voice;
Let thine ears be attentive
To the voice of my supplication.

3If thou, O Lord, shouldest mark iniquities,
O Lord, who shall stand?

4For with thee is forgiveness:
For thy name’s sake

5
have I waited for thee, O Lord,
My soul has waited for thy word.

6My soul has hoped in the Lord;
From the morning watch till night.

7Let Israel hope in the Lord:
For with the Lord is mercy,
And with him is plenteous redemption.

8And he shall redeem Israel
From all his iniquities.
