1 I cry to you from the depths, LORD,
2 Lord, listen to my voice; let your ears pay attention to what I ask of you!
3 LORD, if you were to record iniquities, Lord, who could remain standing?
4 But with you there is forgiveness, so that you may be feared.
5 I wait for the LORD; my soul waits, and I will hope in his word.
6 My soul looks to the Lord more than watchmen look for the morning more, indeed, than watchmen for the morning.
7 Israel, hope in the LORD! For with the LORD there is gracious love, along with abundant redemption.
8 And he will redeem Israel from all its sins. A Davidic Song of Ascents
