1 A song of ascents. By David: ADONAI, I call to you from the depths;
1
<A Song of the going up.> Out of the deep have I sent up my cry to you, O Lord.
2 hear my cry, Adonai! Let your ears pay attention to the sound of my pleading.
2
Lord, let my voice come before you: let your ears be awake to the voice of my prayer.
3 Yah, if you kept a record of sins, who, Adonai, could stand?
3
O Jah, if you took note of every sin, who would go free?
4 But with you there is forgiveness, so that you will be feared.
4
But there is forgiveness with you, so that you may be feared.
5 I wait longingly for ADONAI; I put my hope in his word.
5
I am waiting for the Lord, my soul is waiting for him, and my hope is in his word.
6 Everything in me waits for Adonai more than guards on watch wait for morning, more than guards on watch wait for morning.
6
My soul is watching for the Lord more than those who are watching for the morning; yes, more than the watchers for the morning.
7 Isra'el, put your hope in ADONAI! For grace is found with ADONAI, and with him is unlimited redemption.
7
O Israel, have hope in the Lord; for with the Lord is mercy and full salvation.
8 He will redeem Isra'el from all their wrongdoings.
8
And he will make Israel free from all his sins.
