[1]A Song of the Ascents. From depths I have called Thee, Jehovah.[2]Lord, hearken to my voice, Thine ears are attentive to the voice of my supplications.[3]If iniquities Thou dost observe, O Lord, who doth stand?[4]But with Thee [is] forgiveness, that Thou mayest be feared.[5]I hoped [for] Jehovah -- hoped hath my soul, And for His word I have waited.[6]My soul [is] for the Lord, More than those watching for morning, Watching for morning![7]Israel doth wait on Jehovah, For with Jehovah [is] kindness, And abundant with Him [is] redemption.[8]And He doth redeem Israel from all his iniquities!
