Waiting for the Redemption of the Lord
A Song of Ascents.
1 Out of the depths I have cried to You, O Lord;
A Song of Ascents.
1 Out of the depths I have cried to You, O Lord;
2 Lord, hear my voice!
Let Your ears be attentive
To the voice of my supplications.
Let Your ears be attentive
To the voice of my supplications.
3 If You, Lord, should [a]mark iniquities,
O Lord, who could stand?
O Lord, who could stand?
4 But there is forgiveness with You,
That You may be feared.
That You may be feared.
5 I wait for the Lord, my soul waits,
And in His word I do hope.
And in His word I do hope.
6 My soul waits for the Lord
More than those who watch for the morning —
Yes, more than those who watch for the morning.
More than those who watch for the morning —
Yes, more than those who watch for the morning.
7 O Israel, hope in the Lord;
For with the Lord there is mercy,
And with Him is abundant redemption.
For with the Lord there is mercy,
And with Him is abundant redemption.
8 And He shall redeem Israel
From all his iniquities.
From all his iniquities.
