A Song
of degrees.
Out of the depths
have I cried
unto thee, O LORD.
Lord,
hear
my voice:
let thine ears
be attentive
to the voice
of my supplications.
If thou, LORD,
shouldest mark
iniquities,
O Lord,
who shall stand?
But there is forgiveness
with thee, that thou mayest be feared.
I wait
for the LORD,
my soul
doth wait,
and in his word
do I hope.
My soul
waiteth for the Lord
more than they that watch
for the morning:
I say, more than they that watch
for the morning.
Let Israel
hope
in the LORD:
for with the LORD
there is mercy,
and with him is plenteous
redemption.
And he shall redeem
Israel
from all his iniquities.
