¹ Out of the depths I have called to you, O Lord.
² Lord, hear my voice.
Let your ears be attentive to the sound of my cry for mercy.
³ If you, Lord, ^[1] kept a record of guilt,
O Lord, who could stand?
⁴ But with you there is pardon,
so you are feared.
⁵ I wait for the Lord. My soul waits,
and in his word I have put my hope.
⁶ My soul waits for the Lord
more than watchmen wait for the morning,
more than watchmen wait for the morning.
⁷ Israel, wait confidently for the Lord,
because with the Lord there is mercy.
With him there is abundant redemption.
⁸ So he himself will redeem Israel from all its guilt.

¹ Lord, my heart is not haughty,
and my eyes are not proud.
So I do not intrude into great matters
or into things too wonderful for me.
² Instead I have soothed and quieted my soul.
As a nursed child rests with its mother,
like a nursed ^[2] child my soul rests with me.
³ Wait confidently, O Israel, for the Lord
    from now to eternity.
