| 1 | A song of ascents. Out of the depths I cry to you, O LORD; | |
| 2 | O Lord, hear my voice. Let your ears be attentive to my cry for mercy. | |
| 3 | If you, O LORD, kept a record of sins, O Lord, who could stand? | |
| 4 | But with you there is forgiveness; therefore you are feared. | |
| 5 | I wait for the LORD, my soul waits, and in his word I put my hope. | |
| 6 | My soul waits for the Lord more than watchmen wait for the morning, more than watchmen wait for the morning. | |
| 7 | O Israel, put your hope in the LORD, for with the LORD is unfailing love and with him is full redemption. | |
| 8 | He himself will redeem Israel from all their sins. | |
