ForgivenessWaitingHopeRedemption
1Out of the depths I have cried to you, LORD.
2Lord, hear my voice. Let your ears be attentive to the voice of my petitions.
3If you, LORD, kept a record of sins, Lord, who could stand?
4But there is forgiveness with you, therefore you are feared.
5I wait for the LORD. My soul waits. I hope in his word.
6My soul longs for the Lord more than watchmen long for the morning, more than watchmen for the morning.
7Israel, hope in the LORD, for there is loving kindness with the LORD. Abundant redemption is with him.
8He will redeem Israel from all their sins.
