Common English Bible CEB
English Standard Version ESV
1 I cry out to you from the depths, LORD—
1
Out of the depths I cry to you, O Lord!
2 my Lord, listen to my voice! Let your ears pay close attention to my request for mercy!
2
O Lord, hear my voice! Let your ears be attentive to the voice of my pleas for mercy!
3 If you kept track of sins, LORD— my Lord, who would stand a chance?
3
If you, O Lord, should mark iniquities, O Lord, who could stand?
4 But forgiveness is with you— that's why you are honored.
4
But with you there is forgiveness, that you may be feared.
5 I hope, LORD. My whole being hopes, and I wait for God's promise.
5
I wait for the Lord, my soul waits, and in his word I hope;
6 My whole being waits for my Lord— more than the night watch waits for morning; yes, more than the night watch waits for morning!
6
my soul waits for the Lord more than watchmen for the morning, more than watchmen for the morning.
7 Israel, wait for the LORD! Because faithful love is with the LORD; because great redemption is with our God!
7
O Israel, hope in the Lord! For with the Lord there is steadfast love, and with him is plentiful redemption.
8 He is the one who will redeem Israel from all its sin.
8
And he will redeem Israel from all his iniquities.
