Waiting for the Redemption of the Lord
A Song of Ascents.
1 Outof the depths I have cried to You, OLord;
2 Lord, hear my voice!
Let Your ears be attentive
To the voice of my supplications.
3 If You,Lord, should mark iniquities,
# O Lord, who couldstand?
4 Butthereisforgiveness with You,
# ThatYou may be feared.
5 I wait for theLord, my soul waits,
# Andin His word I do hope.
6 My soulwaitsfor the Lord
More than those who watch for the morning—
Yes, more thanthose who watch for the morning.
7 O Israel, hope in theLord;
# Forwith theLordthereismercy,
And with Himisabundant redemption.
8 AndHe shall redeem Israel
From all his iniquities.
