New International Version (NIV) |
|
1 Lord, I am in great trouble, so I call out to you.
|
1 Out of the depths I cry to you, O LORD;
|
|
2 Lord, hear my voice; listen to my prayer for help.
|
2 O Lord, hear my voice. Let your ears be attentive to my cry for mercy.
|
|
3 Lord, if you punished people for all their sins, no one would be left, Lord.
|
3 If you, O LORD, kept a record of sins, O Lord, who could stand?
|
|
4 But you forgive us, so you are respected.
|
4 But with you there is forgiveness; therefore you are feared.
|
|
5 I wait for the Lord to help me, and I trust his word.
|
5 I wait for the LORD, my soul waits, and in his word I put my hope.
|
|
6 I wait for the Lord to help me more than night watchmen wait for the dawn, more than night watchmen wait for the dawn.
|
6 My soul waits for the Lord more than watchmen wait for the morning, more than watchmen wait for the morning.
|
|
7 People of Israel, put your hope in the Lord because he is loving and able to save.
|
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 save Israel from all their sins. A song for going up to worship. Of David.
|
8 He himself will redeem Israel from all their sins.
