1 O Lord, out of the depths I call to you.

2 O Lord, hear my voice.

Let your ears be open to my pleas for mercy.

3 O Lord, who would be able to stand

if you kept a record of sins?

4 But with you there is forgiveness

so that you can be feared.

5 I wait for the Lord, my soul waits,

and with hope I wait for his word.

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, put your hope in the Lord,

because with the Lord there is mercy

and with him there is unlimited forgiveness.

8 He will rescue Israel from all its sins.
