New Century Version NCV
1 Out of the depths I cry to you, LORD;
1
Lord, I am in great trouble, so I call out to you.
2 Lord, hear my voice. Let your ears be attentive to my cry for mercy.
2
Lord, hear my voice; listen to my prayer for help.
3 If you, LORD, kept a record of sins, Lord, who could stand?
3
Lord, if you punished people for all their sins, no one would be left, Lord.
4 But with you there is forgiveness, so that we can, with reverence, serve you.
4
But you forgive us, so you are respected.
5 I wait for the LORD, my whole being waits, and in his word I put my hope.
5
I wait for the Lord to help me, and I trust his word.
6 I wait for the Lord more than watchmen wait for the morning, more than watchmen wait for the morning.
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.
7 Israel, put your hope in the LORD, for with the LORD is unfailing love and with him is full redemption.
7
People of Israel, put your hope in the Lord because he is loving and able to save.
8 He himself will redeem Israel from all their sins.

He will save Israel from all their sins. A song for going up to worship. Of David.
