1
Lord, I cry out to you from the depths of my pain.*
2
Please listen to my cry, and pay attention to what I'm asking.
3
Lord, if you kept a list of sins, who could escape being condemned?
4
But you are forgiving so that we might respect you.
5
I'm waiting for the Lord, longingly waiting, for I trust in his word.
6
I long for the Lord to come, more than watchmen longing for the dawn to come, more than watchmen longing for the dawn to come.
7
Israel, put your hope in the Lord, for the Lord loves us with a trustworthy love and his salvation knows no limits.
8
He will save Israel from every sin.
