1 Out of the depths I cry to you, Yahweh.

2 Lord, hear my voice;

let your ears be attentive

to my pleas for mercy.

3 If you, Yahweh, would mark iniquities,

Lord, who could stand?

4 But there is forgiveness with you,

that you may be revered.

5 I wait for Yahweh, my soul waits,

and in his word I hope.

6 My soul waits for the Lord

more than watchmen wait for the morning.

7 Israel, hope in Yahweh.

Yahweh is merciful,

and he is very willing to forgive.

8 It is he who will redeem Israel

from all his sins.
