New Living Translation NLT
Young's Literal Translation YLT
1 From the depths of despair, O LORD, I call for your help.
1
A Song of the Ascents. From depths I have called Thee, Jehovah.
2 Hear my cry, O Lord. Pay attention to my prayer.
2
Lord, hearken to my voice, Thine ears are attentive to the voice of my supplications.
3 LORD, if you kept a record of our sins, who, O Lord, could ever survive?
3
If iniquities Thou dost observe, O Lord, who doth stand?
4 But you offer forgiveness, that we might learn to fear you.
4
But with Thee [is] forgiveness, that Thou mayest 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 hoped [for] Jehovah -- hoped hath my soul, And for His word I have waited.
6 I long for the Lord more than sentries long for the dawn, yes, more than sentries long for the dawn.
6
My soul [is] for the Lord, More than those watching for morning, Watching for morning!
7 O Israel, hope in the LORD ; for with the LORD there is unfailing love. His redemption overflows.
7
Israel doth wait on Jehovah, For with Jehovah [is] kindness, And abundant with Him [is] redemption.
8 He himself will redeem Israel from every kind of sin.
8
And He doth redeem Israel from all his iniquities!
