New International Version (NIV) |
|
1 A Song of the Ascents. From depths I have called Thee, Jehovah.
|
1 Out of the depths I cry to you, O LORD;
|
|
2 Lord, hearken to my voice, Thine ears are attentive to the voice of my supplications.
|
2 O Lord, hear my voice. Let your ears be attentive to my cry for mercy.
|
|
3 If iniquities Thou dost observe, O Lord, who doth stand?
|
3 If you, O LORD, kept a record of sins, O Lord, who could stand?
|
|
4 But with Thee [is] forgiveness, that Thou mayest be feared.
|
4 But with you there is forgiveness; therefore you are feared.
|
|
5 I hoped [for] Jehovah -- hoped hath my soul, And for His word I have waited.
|
5 I wait for the LORD, my soul waits, and in his word I put my hope.
|
|
6 My soul [is] for the Lord, More than those watching for morning, Watching for morning!
|
6 My soul waits for the Lord more than watchmen wait for the morning, more than watchmen wait for the morning.
|
|
7 Israel doth wait on Jehovah, For with Jehovah [is] kindness, And abundant with Him [is] redemption.
|
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 doth redeem Israel from all his iniquities!
|
8 He himself will redeem Israel from all their sins.
