Lord, from the depths to Thee I cried:
My voice, Lord, do Thou hear;
Unto my supplication’s voice
Give an attentive ear.

Lord, who shall stand, if Thou, O Lord,
Shouldst mark iniquity?
But yet with Thee forgiveness is,
That feared Thou mayest be.

I wait for God, my soul doth wait;
My hope is in His Word.
More than they that for morning watch,
My soul waits for the Lord.

I say, more than they that do watch
The morning light to see.
Let Israel hope in the Lord,
For with Him mercies be.

Redemption also plenteous
Is ever found with Him;
And from all his iniquities
He Israel shall redeem.
