Psalmist Cries for Mercy

Open in the reader →

A Song of Ascents.

1Out of the depths I call to you, Yahweh.

2Lord, hear my voice; let your ears be attentive to the voice of my pleas for mercy.

3If you, Yah, should keep account of iniquities, Lord, who could stand?

4But with you there is forgiveness, so that you may be feared.

5I wait for Yahweh; my soul waits, and in his word I hope.

6My soul waits for the Lord more than watchmen for the morning, more than watchmen for the morning.

7Israel, wait for Yahweh, for with Yahweh there is steadfast love, and with him is abundant redemption.

8And he will redeem Israel from all their iniquities.
