1A Song of Ascents. From the deepest troubles, I have cried out to you, Yahweh.
2Lord, hear my voice. Please listen carefully to my requests.
3If you, Yah, kept track of sins, Lord, who could survive?
4But you offer forgiveness, and because of this, you are respected.
5I wait for Yahweh. My soul waits, and I put my hope in his word.
6My soul longs for the Lord more than guards long for the morning; more than guards long for the morning.
7Israel, put your hope in Yahweh, for Yahweh is loving and kind. He offers plentiful rescue.
8He will free Israel from all their sins.
