Chapter Summary

A Song of Ascent — one of the seven penitential psalms — crying from the depths to the Lord. If God marked iniquities no one could stand, but with God is forgiveness and steadfast love. The psalmist waits for the Lord more than watchmen wait for morning, and calls Israel to hope in redemption.

1Out of the depths have I cried unto thee, O Lord.

2Lord, hear my voice: let thine ears be attentive to the voice of my supplications.

3If thou, Lord, shouldest mark iniquities, O Lord, who shall stand?

4But there is forgiveness with thee, that thou mayest be feared.

5I wait for the Lord, my soul doth wait, and in his word do I hope.

6My soul waiteth for the Lord more than they that watch for the morning: I say, more than they that watch for the morning.

7Let Israel hope in the Lord: for with the Lord there is mercy, and with him is plenteous redemption.

8And he shall redeem Israel from all his iniquities.
