New King James Version NKJV
New Living Translation NLT
1 A Song of Ascents. Out of the depths I have cried to You, O 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 the voice of my supplications.
2
Hear my cry, O Lord. Pay attention to my prayer.
3 If You, Lord, should mark iniquities, O Lord, who could stand?
3
LORD, if you kept a record of our sins, who, O Lord, could ever survive?
4 But there is forgiveness with You, That You may be feared.
4
But you offer forgiveness, that we might learn to fear you.
5 I wait for the Lord, my soul waits, And in His word I do hope.
5
I am counting on the LORD ; yes, I am counting on him. I have put my hope in his word.
6 My soul waits for the Lord More than those who watch for the morning-- Yes, more than those who watch 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 O Israel, hope in the Lord; For with the Lord there is mercy, And with Him is abundant redemption.
7
O Israel, hope in the LORD ; for with the LORD there is unfailing love. His redemption overflows.
8 And He shall redeem Israel From all his iniquities.
8
He himself will redeem Israel from every kind of sin.
