New Living Translation NLT
English Standard Version ESV
1 From the depths of despair, O LORD, I call for your help.
1
Out of the depths I cry to you, O Lord!
2 Hear my cry, O Lord. Pay attention to my prayer.
2
O Lord, hear my voice! Let your ears be attentive to the voice of my pleas for mercy!
3 LORD, if you kept a record of our sins, who, O Lord, could ever survive?
3
If you, O Lord, should mark iniquities, O Lord, who could stand?
4 But you offer forgiveness, that we might learn to fear you.
4
But with you there is forgiveness, that you may be feared.
5 I am counting on the LORD ; yes, I am counting on him. I have put my hope in his word.
5
I wait for the Lord, my soul waits, and in his word I hope;
6 I long for the Lord more than sentries long for the dawn, yes, more than sentries long for the dawn.
6
my soul waits for the Lord more than watchmen for the morning, more than watchmen for the morning.
7 O Israel, hope in the LORD ; for with the LORD there is unfailing love. His redemption overflows.
7
O Israel, hope in the Lord! For with the Lord there is steadfast love, and with him is plentiful redemption.
8 He himself will redeem Israel from every kind of sin.
8
And he will redeem Israel from all his iniquities.
