1Out of the depths I have cried to thee, O Lord:
1Many times they have afflicted me from my youth up. Let Israel now say:
2Lord, hear my voice. Let thy ears be attentive to the voice of my supplication.
2many times they have afflicted me from my youth up, yet they have not prevailed against me.
3If thou, O Lord, wilt mark iniquities: Lord, who shall stand it.
3The plowers plowed on my back. They made their furrows long.
4For with thee there is merciful forgiveness: and by reason of thy law, I have waited for thee, O Lord. My soul hath relied on his word:
4The LORD is righteous. He has cut apart the cords of the wicked.
5My soul hath hoped in the Lord.
5Let them be disappointed and turned backward, all those who hate Zion.
6From the morning watch even until night, let Israel hope in the Lord.
6Let them be as the grass on the housetops, which withers before it grows up,
7Because with the Lord there is mercy: and with him plentiful redemption.
7with which the reaper doesn’t fill his hand, nor he who binds sheaves, his bosom.
8And he shall redeem Israel from all his iniquities.
8Neither do those who go by say, “The blessing of the LORD be on you. We bless you in the LORD’s name.”
