Hope in the LORD’S Forgiving Love.

A Song of Ascents.

1 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 supplications.

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 does wait,
          And in His word do I hope.

6 My soul waits for the Lord
          More than the watchmen for the morning;
          Indeed, more than the watchmen for the morning.

7 O Israel, hope in the LORD;
          For with the LORD there is lovingkindness,
          And with Him is abundant redemption.

8 And He will redeem Israel
          From all his iniquities.
