New Century Version NCV
English Standard Version ESV
1 Lord, I am in great trouble, so I call out to you.
1
Out of the depths I cry to you, O Lord!
2 Lord, hear my voice; listen to my prayer for help.
2
O Lord, hear my voice! Let your ears be attentive to the voice of my pleas for mercy!
3 Lord, if you punished people for all their sins, no one would be left, Lord.
3
If you, O Lord, should mark iniquities, O Lord, who could stand?
4 But you forgive us, so you are respected.
4
But with you there is forgiveness, that you may be feared.
5 I wait for the Lord to help me, and I trust his word.
5
I wait for the Lord, my soul waits, and in his word I hope;
6 I wait for the Lord to help me more than night watchmen wait for the dawn, more than night watchmen wait for the dawn.
6
my soul waits for the Lord more than watchmen for the morning, more than watchmen for the morning.
7 People of Israel, put your hope in the Lord because he is loving and able to save.
7
O Israel, hope in the Lord! For with the Lord there is steadfast love, and with him is plentiful redemption.
8 He will save Israel from all their sins. A song for going up to worship. Of David.
8
And he will redeem Israel from all his iniquities.
