A song for pilgrims ascending to Jerusalem.
1 From the depths of despair, O Lord,
I call for your help.
Pay attention to my prayer.
3 Lord, if you kept a record of our sins,
who, O Lord, could ever survive?
that we might learn to fear you.
yes, I am counting on him.
I have put my hope in his word.
more than sentries long for the dawn,
yes, more than sentries long for the dawn.
for with the Lord there is unfailing love.
His redemption overflows.
8 He himself will redeem Israel
from every kind of sin.
