Out of the depths I cry to you, O Lord!
2  O Lord, hear my voice!
Let your ears be attentive
to the voice of my pleas for mercy!

3  If you, O Lord, should mark iniquities,
O Lord, who could stand?
4  But with you there is forgiveness,
that you may be feared.

5  I wait for the Lord, my soul waits,
and in his word I hope;
6  my soul waits for the Lord
more than watchmen for the morning,
more than watchmen for the morning.
