1A song of ascents.
Out of the depths
I cry to You, O LORD!
1A Song of the Ascents. Out of the depths I have called out to You, O YHWH!
2O Lord, hear my voice;
let Your ears be attentive to my plea for mercy.
2O Lord, listen to my voice! Let Your ears be attentive to the voice of my supplications!
3If You, O LORD, kept track of iniquities,
then who, O Lord, could stand?
3If You were to mark iniquities, O YAH, O Lord, who could stand?
4But with You there is forgiveness,
so that You may be feared.
4But with You is forgiveness, so that You may be feared.
5I wait for the LORD; my soul does wait,
and in His word I put my hope.
5I wait for YHWH; my soul waits, and in His word I have hoped.
6My soul waits for the Lord
more than watchmen wait for the morning—
more than watchmen wait for the morning.
6My soul is for the Lord, more than those watching for the morning, watching for the morning.
7O Israel, put your hope in the LORD,
for with the LORD is loving devotion,
and with Him is redemption in abundance.
7Look with hope, O Israel, unto YHWH! For with YHWH is loving devotion, and redemption is abundant with Him.
8And He will redeem Israel
from all iniquity.
8And He will redeem Israel from all his iniquities.
