New International Version (NIV) |
|
1 The song of degrees. Lord, I cried to thee from the depths;
|
1 Out of the depths I cry to you, O LORD;
|
|
2 Lord, hear thou my voice. Thine ears be made attentive into the voice of my beseeching (Let thy ears be made attentive to the words of my plea).
|
2 O Lord, hear my voice. Let your ears be attentive to my cry for mercy.
|
|
3 Lord, if thou keepest wickednesses; Lord, who shall sustain, or abide? (Lord, if thou keepest a record of our wickednesses; then Lord, who shall survive?/then Lord, who will not be condemned?)
|
3 If you, O LORD, kept a record of sins, O Lord, who could stand?
|
|
4 For mercy is at thee; (But there is mercy with thee, and I stand in awe of thee;)
|
4 But with you there is forgiveness; therefore you are feared.
|
|
5 and, Lord, for thy law I abode thee. My soul sustained in his word; (yea, Lord, I wait for thee. My soul is sustained, and I hope, and I trust, in his word.)
|
5 I wait for the LORD, my soul waits, and in his word I put my hope.
|
|
6 my soul hoped in the Lord. From the morrowtide keeping till to the night; (My soul waiteth for the Lord, more eagerly than those who wait for the morning light; yea, more eagerly than those who stand guard, or be on watch, until the morning light.)
|
6 My soul waits for the Lord more than watchmen wait for the morning, more than watchmen wait for the morning.
|
|
7 Israel hope in the Lord. For why mercy is at the Lord; and plenteous redemption is at him. (Israel, trust in the Lord. For there is always love with the Lord; and there is plentiful redemption with him.)
|
7 O Israel, put your hope in the LORD, for with the LORD is unfailing love and with him is full redemption.
|
|
8 And he shall again-buy Israel; from all the wickednesses thereof. (And he shall redeem the people of Israel; from all their wickednesses.)
|
8 He himself will redeem Israel from all their sins.
