OUT of the depths I have cried to You, O LORD;

2 Lord, hear my voice! Let Your ears be attentive to the voice of my supplecations.

3 If You, LORD, should mark iniquities, O Lord, who could stand?

4 But there is forgiveness with You, that You may be feared.

5 I wait for the LORD, my soul waits, that in His word I do hope.

6 My soul waits for the LORD more than those who watch for the morning-yes, more than those who watch for the morning.

7 O Israel, hope in the LORD; for with the LORD there is mercy, and with Him is abundant redemption.

8 And He shall redeem Israel from all his iniquities. PSALM 130
