1 [A song for going up to worship.] 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.
