1Out of the depths I cry to you, O Lord.*

2Lord, hear my voice!

Let your ears be attentive

to the voice of my supplications!*

3If you, O Lord, should mark iniquities,

Lord, who could stand?*

4But there is forgiveness with you,

so that you may be revered.*

5I wait for the Lord; my soul waits,

and in his word I hope;*

6my soul waits for the Lord

more than those who watch for the morning,

more than those who watch for the morning.*

7O Israel, hope in the Lord!

For with the Lord there is steadfast love,

and with him is great power to redeem.*

8It is he who will redeem Israel

from all its iniquities.*
