1A Song of degrees. Out 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.
