A Song of degrees.

¶ Out of the depths I cry unto thee, O LORD.

Lord, hear my voice; let thine ears be attentive to the voice of my supplications.

If thou, O LORD, should mark iniquities, O Lord, who shall endure?

Therefore there is forgiveness close to thee, that thou may be feared.

¶ I have waited for the LORD, my soul has waited, and for his word I have waited.

My soul has waited for the Lord more than those that watch for the morning: I say, more than those that watch for the morning.

Let Israel wait for the LORD; for with the LORD there is mercy and plenteous redemption close to him.

And he shall ransom Israel from all his sins.

Psalm 130

A song of ascents.

Out of the depths(A) I cry to you,(B) Lord;
    Lord, hear my voice.(C)
Let your ears be attentive(D)
    to my cry for mercy.(E)

If you, Lord, kept a record of sins,
    Lord, who could stand?(F)
But with you there is forgiveness,(G)
    so that we can, with reverence, serve you.(H)

I wait for the Lord,(I) my whole being waits,(J)
    and in his word(K) I put my hope.
I wait for the Lord
    more than watchmen(L) wait for the morning,
    more than watchmen wait for the morning.(M)

Israel, put your hope(N) in the Lord,
    for with the Lord is unfailing love(O)
    and with him is full redemption.(P)
He himself will redeem(Q) Israel
    from all their sins.(R)
