A Song of degrees.
1
Out of the depths have I cried unto thee, O LORD.
2
Lord, hear my voice:Let thine ears be attentiveTo the voice of my supplications.
3
If thou, LORD, shouldest mark iniquities,O Lord, who shall stand?
4
But there is forgiveness with thee,That thou mayest be feared.
5
I wait for the LORD, my soul doth wait,And in his word do I hope.
6
My soul waiteth for the LordMore than they that watch for the morning: I say, more than they that watch for the morning.
7
Let Israel hope in the LORD: For with the LORD there is mercy,And with him is plenteous redemption.
8
And he shall redeem Israel from all his iniquities.
