My Soul Waits for the Lord

A Song of (A)Ascents.

130 Out of (B)the depths I cry to you, O Lord!
    O Lord, hear my voice!
(C)Let your ears be attentive
    to (D)the voice of my pleas for mercy!

If you, O Lord, should (E)mark iniquities,
    O Lord, who could (F)stand?
But with you there is (G)forgiveness,
    (H)that you may be feared.

I (I)wait for the Lord, (J)my soul waits,
    and (K)in his word I hope;
my soul (L)waits for the Lord
    more than (M)watchmen for (N)the morning,
    more than watchmen for the morning.

O Israel, (O)hope in the Lord!
    For (P)with the Lord there is steadfast love,
    and with him is plentiful redemption.
And he will (Q)redeem Israel
    from all his iniquities.

A Song of Ascents

A Prayer for Mercy

130 I cry to you from the depths, Lord,
Lord, listen to my voice;
let your ears pay attention
    to what I ask of you![a]
Lord,[b] if you were to record iniquities,
    Lord, who could remain standing?
But with you there is forgiveness,
    so that you may be feared.

I wait for the Lord;
    my soul waits,
        and I will hope in his word.
My soul looks to the Lord
    more than watchmen look for the morning—
        more, indeed, than[c] watchmen for the morning.

Israel, hope in the Lord!
    For with the Lord there is gracious love,
        along with abundant redemption.
And he will redeem Israel
    from all its sins.
