1[A song for going up to worship.] O LORD, out of the depths I call to you.

2O Lord, hear my voice. Let your ears be open to my pleas for mercy.

3O LORD, who would be able to stand if you kept a record of sins?

4But with you there is forgiveness so that you can be feared.

5I wait for the LORD, my soul waits, and with hope I wait for his word.

6My soul waits for the LORD more than those who watch for the morning, more than those who watch for the morning.

7O Israel, put your hope in the LORD, because with the LORD there is mercy and with him there is unlimited forgiveness.

8He will rescue Israel from all its sins.
