1 A song of ascents. By David:
Adonai, I call to you from the depths;
2 hear my cry,Adonai!
Let your ears pay attention
to the sound of my pleading.
3 Yah, if you kept a record of sins,
who,Adonai, could stand?
4 But with you there is forgiveness,
so that you will be feared.
5 I wait longingly forAdonai;
I put my hope in his word.
6 Everything in me waits forAdonai
more than guards on watch wait for morning,
more than guards on watch wait for morning.
7 Isra’el, put your hope inAdonai!
For grace is found withAdonai,
and with him is unlimited redemption.
8 He will redeem Isra’el
from all their wrongdoings.
