A Song of Degrees. Out of the depths have I cried to thee, O Lord.
O Lord, hearken to my voice;
Let thine ears be attentive
To the voice of my supplication.
If thou, O Lord, shouldest mark iniquities,
O Lord, who shall stand?
For with thee is forgiveness:
For thy name’s sake
have I waited for thee, O Lord,
My soul has waited for thy word.
My soul has hoped in the Lord;
From the morning watch till night.
Let Israel hope in the Lord:
For with the Lord is mercy,
And with him is plenteous redemption.
And he shall redeem Israel
From all his iniquities.
