| 1 A song of ascents. By David: ADONAI, I call to you from the depths; | 1 Out of the depths I cry to you, O LORD; |
| 2 hear my cry, Adonai! Let your ears pay attention to the sound of my pleading. | 2 O Lord, hear my voice. Let your ears be attentive to my cry for mercy. |
| 3 Yah, if you kept a record of sins, who, Adonai, could stand? | 3 If you, O LORD, kept a record of sins, O Lord, who could stand? |
| 4 But with you there is forgiveness, so that you will be feared. | 4 But with you there is forgiveness; therefore you are feared. |
| 5 I wait longingly for ADONAI; I put my hope in his word. | 5 I wait for the LORD, my soul waits, and in his word I put my hope. |
| 6 Everything in me waits for Adonai more than guards on watch wait for morning, more than guards on watch wait for morning. | 6 My soul waits for the Lord more than watchmen wait for the morning, more than watchmen wait for the morning. |
| 7 Isra'el, put your hope in ADONAI! For grace is found with ADONAI, and with him is unlimited redemption. | 7 O Israel, put your hope in the LORD, for with the LORD is unfailing love and with him is full redemption. |
| 8 He will redeem Isra'el from all their wrongdoings. | 8 He himself will redeem Israel from all their sins. |
