1A SONG OF THE ASCENTS. I have called You from the depths, YHWH.
2Lord, listen to my voice, || Your ears are attentive to the voice of my supplications.
3If You observe iniquities, Lord YAH, who stands?
4But forgiveness [is] with You, that You may be feared.
5I hoped [for] YHWH—my soul has hoped, || And I have waited for His word.
6My soul [is] for the Lord, || More than those watching for morning, || Watching for morning!
7Israel waits on YHWH, || For kindness [is] with YHWH, || And redemption [is] abundant with Him.
8And He redeems Israel from all his iniquities!
