From the depths of despair, O LORD, I call for your help.

Hear my cry, O Lord. Pay attention to my prayer.

LORD, if you kept a record of our sins, who, O Lord, could ever survive?

But you offer forgiveness, that we might learn to fear you.

I am counting on the LORD; yes, I am counting on him. I have put my hope in his word.

I long for the Lord more than sentries long for the dawn, yes, more than sentries long for the dawn.

O Israel, hope in the LORD; for with the LORD there is unfailing love. His redemption overflows.

He himself will redeem Israel from every kind of sin. A song for pilgrims ascending to Jerusalem. A psalm of David.
