1 From the depths of despair, O LORD, I call for your help.
1
Out of the depths I cry to you, LORD;
2 Hear my cry, O Lord. Pay attention to my prayer.
2
Lord, hear my voice. Let your ears be attentive to my cry for mercy.
3 LORD, if you kept a record of our sins, who, O Lord, could ever survive?
3
If you, LORD, kept a record of sins, Lord, who could stand?
4 But you offer forgiveness, that we might learn to fear you.
4
But with you there is forgiveness, so that we can, with reverence, serve you.
5 I am counting on the LORD ; yes, I am counting on him. I have put my hope in his word.
5
I wait for the LORD, my whole being waits, and in his word I put my hope.
6 I long for the Lord more than sentries long for the dawn, yes, more than sentries long for the dawn.
6
I wait for the Lord more than watchmen wait for the morning, more than watchmen wait for the morning.
7 O Israel, hope in the LORD ; for with the LORD there is unfailing love. His redemption overflows.
7
Israel, put your hope in the LORD, for with the LORD is unfailing love and with him is full redemption.
8 He himself will redeem Israel from every kind of sin.

He himself will redeem Israel from all their sins.
