1 A Song of degrees. Out of the depths have I cried to thee, O LORD.
2 LORD, hear my voice: let thy ears be attentive to 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 LORD more 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.
