1A Song of Degrees. Out of the depths have I cried to thee, O Lord.
1Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth, may Israel now say:
2O Lord, hearken to my voice; let thine ears be attentive to the voice of my supplication.
2Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth: yet they have not prevailed against me.
3If thou, O Lord, shouldest mark iniquities, O Lord, who shall stand?
3The plowers plowed upon my back: they made long their furrows.
4For with thee is forgiveness: for thy name's sake
4The Lord is righteous: he hath cut asunder the cords of the wicked.
5have I waited for thee, O Lord, my soul has waited for thy word.
5Let them all be confounded and turned back that hate Zion.
6My soul has hoped in the Lord; from the morning watch till night.
6Let them be as the grass upon the housetops, which withereth afore it groweth up:
7Let Israel hope in the Lord: for with the Lord is mercy, and with him is plenteous redemption.
7Wherewith the mower filleth not his hand; nor he that bindeth sheaves his bosom.
8And he shall redeem Israel from all his iniquities.
8Neither do they which go by say, The blessing of the Lord be upon you: we bless you in the name of the Lord.
