1 A Song of Ascents. Out of the depths I cry to you, O Lord! (Ps 69:2; Ps 69:14; Ps 120:1; La 3:55; Jon 2:2) 

2 O Lord, hear my voice! Let your ears be attentive to the voice of my pleas for mercy! (2Ch 6:40; Ps 86:6; Ps 140:6) 

3 If you, O Lord, should mark iniquities, O Lord, who could stand? (Job 10:14; Ps 76:7; Ps 90:8; Ps 143:2; Am 2:15; Na 1:6; Mal 3:2; Eph 6:13; Re 6:17)

1 A Song of degrees. Out of the depths have I cried unto thee, O LORD. 

2 Lord, hear my voice: let thine ears be attentive to the voice of my supplications. 

3 If thou, LORD, shouldest mark iniquities, O Lord, who shall stand? 

4 But there is forgiveness with thee, that thou mayest be feared. 

5 I wait for the LORD, my soul doth wait, and in his word do I hope. 

6 My soul waiteth for the Lord more than they that watch for the morning: I say, more than they that watch for the morning. 

7 Let Israel hope in the LORD: for with the LORD there is mercy, and with him is plenteous redemption. 

8 And he shall redeem Israel from all his iniquities.
