1 A Song of degrees. Out of the depths have I cried to thee, O LORD.

1 שִׁ֥יר הַֽמַּעֲלֹ֑ות מִמַּעֲמַקִּ֖ים קְרָאתִ֣יךָ יְהוָֽה׃

2 Lord, hear my voice: let thy ears be attentive to the voice of my supplications.

2 אֲדֹנָי֮ שִׁמְעָ֪ה בְקֹ֫ולִ֥י תִּהְיֶ֣ינָה אָ֭זְנֶיךָ קַשֻּׁבֹ֑ות לְ֝קֹ֗ול תַּחֲנוּנָֽי׃

3 If thou, LORD, shouldest mark iniquities, O Lord, who shall stand?

3 אִם־עֲוֹנֹ֥ות תִּשְׁמָר־יָ֑הּ אֲ֝דֹנָ֗י מִ֣י יַעֲמֹֽד׃

4 But there is forgiveness with thee, that thou mayest be feared.

4 כִּֽי־עִמְּךָ֥ הַסְּלִיחָ֑ה לְ֝מַ֗עַן תִּוָּרֵֽא׃

5 I wait for the LORD, my soul doth wait, and in his word do I hope.

5 קִוִּ֣יתִי יְ֭הוָה קִוְּתָ֣ה נַפְשִׁ֑י וְֽלִדְבָרֹ֥ו הֹוחָֽלְתִּי׃

6 My soul waiteth for the Lord more than they that watch for the morning: I say, more than they that watch for the morning.

6 נַפְשִׁ֥י לַֽאדֹנָ֑י מִשֹּׁמְרִ֥ים לַ֝בֹּ֗קֶר שֹׁמְרִ֥ים לַבֹּֽקֶר׃

7 Let Israel hope in the LORD: for with the LORD there is mercy, and with him is plenteous redemption.

7 יַחֵ֥ל יִשְׂרָאֵ֗ל אֶל־יְה֫וָה כִּֽי־עִם־יְהוָ֥ה הַחֶ֑סֶד וְהַרְבֵּ֖ה עִמֹּ֣ו פְדֽוּת׃

8 And he shall redeem Israel from all his iniquities.

8 וְ֭הוּא יִפְדֶּ֣ה אֶת־יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל מִ֝כֹּ֗ל עֲוֹנֹתָֽיו׃
