¹   Out of the depths I cry to you, O LORD. 
²       Lord, hear my voice! 
     Let your ears be attentive 
          to the voice of my supplications!

³   If you, O LORD, should mark iniquities, 
          Lord, who could stand? 
⁴   But there is forgiveness with you, 
          so that you may be revered.

⁵   I wait for the LORD, my soul waits, 
          and in his word I hope; 
⁶   my soul waits for the Lord 
          more than those who watch for the morning, 
          more than those who watch for the morning.

⁷   O Israel, hope in the LORD! 
          For with the LORD there is steadfast love, 
          and with him is great power to redeem. 
⁸   It is he who will redeem Israel 
          from all its iniquities.
