PSALM 130 [†] Out of  c the depths I cry to you, O LORD!

2 O Lord, hear my voice!

 d Let your ears be attentive

to  e the voice of my pleas for mercy!

3[†] If you, O LORD, should  f mark iniquities,

O Lord, who could  g stand?

4[^] But with you there is  h forgiveness,

 i that you may be feared.

5[†] I  j wait for the LORD,  k my soul waits,

and  l in his word I hope;

6 my soul  m waits for the Lord

more than  n watchmen for  o the morning,

more than watchmen for the morning.

7 O Israel,  p hope in the LORD!

For  q with the LORD there is steadfast love,

and with him is plentiful redemption.

8 And he will  r redeem Israel

from all his iniquities.

A Song of  m Ascents. Of David.
