1A Song of the Ascents. From depths I have called Thee, Jehovah.
2Lord, hearken to my voice, Thine ears are attentive to the voice of my supplications.
3If iniquities Thou dost observe, O Lord, who doth stand?
4But with Thee is forgiveness, that Thou mayest be feared.
5I hoped for Jehovah — hoped hath my soul, And for His word I have waited.
