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