1 Out of the depths I cry to thee, O Lord!

2 Lord, hear my voice!

Let thy ears be attentive

to the voice of my supplications!

3 If thou, O Lord, shouldst mark iniquities,

Lord, who could stand?

4 But there is forgiveness with thee,

that thou mayest be feared.

5 I wait for the Lord, my soul waits,

and in his word I hope;

6 my soul waits for the Lord

more than watchmen for the morning,

more than watchmen for the morning.
