My Soul Waits for the Lord

A Song of Ascents.

¹Out of the depths I cry to you, O Lord!

²O Lord, hear my voice!

Let your ears be attentive

to the voice of my pleas for mercy!

³If you, O Lord, should mark iniquities,

O Lord, who could stand?

⁴But with you there is forgiveness,

that you may be feared.

⁵I wait for the Lord, my soul waits,

and in his word I hope;

⁶my soul waits for the Lord

more than watchmen for the morning,

more than watchmen for the morning.

⁷O Israel, hope in the Lord!

For with the Lord there is steadfast love,

and with him is plentiful redemption.

⁸And he will redeem Israel

from all his iniquities.
