Out of the depths have I cried unto Thee, Hashem.

2 Adonoi, hear my voice;

let Thine ears be attentive

to the voice of my techinnot (supplications).

3 If Thou, Hashem, shouldest record iniquities,

Adonoi, who could stand?

4 But there is selichah (forgiveness) with Thee;

therefore, Thou art feared.

5 I wait for Hashem,

my nefesh doth wait,

and in His Devar do I hope.

6 My nefesh waiteth for Adonoi

more than the shomrim that watch for the boker;

I say, more than the shomrim that watch for the boker.

7 Let Yisroel hope in Hashem;

for with Hashem there is chesed,

and with Him is plenteous pedut (redemption).

8 And He shall redeem Yisroel from all his iniquities.
