1Out of the depths I have cried to you, Yahweh. 2Lord, hear my voice. Let your ears be attentive to the voice of my petitions. 3If you, Yah, kept a record of sins, Lord, who could stand? 4But there is forgiveness with you, therefore you are feared. 5I wait for Yahweh. My soul waits. I hope in his word. 6My soul longs for the Lord more than watchmen long for the morning; more than watchmen for the morning. 7Israel, hope in Yahweh, for with Yahweh there is loving kindness. With him is abundant redemption. 8He will redeem Israel from all their sins. A Song of Ascents. By David.
