My Soul Waits for the Lord
1
Out a of the depths I have cried to You, O LORD;
2
Lord, hear my voice!
Let Your ears be attentive
To the voice of my supplications.
3
b If You, LORD, should mark iniquities,
O Lord, who could c stand?
4
But there is d forgiveness with You,
That e You may be feared.
5
f I wait for the LORD, my soul waits,
And g in His word I do hope.
6
h My soul waits for the Lord
More than those who watch for the morning -
Yes, more than those who watch for the morning.
7
i O Israel, hope in the LORD;
For j with the LORD there is mercy,
And with Him is abundant redemption.
8
And k He shall redeem Israel
From all his iniquities.
