129
A Song of Degrees.
Out of the depths have I cried to thee, O Lord. O Lord, hearken to my voice; let thine ears be attentive to the voice of my supplication. If thou, O Lord, shouldest mark iniquities, O Lord, who shall stand? For with thee is *forgiveness: for thy name's sake have I waited for thee, O Lord, my soul has waited for thy word. My soul has hoped in the Lord; from the morning watch till night. Let Israel hope in the Lord: for with the Lord is mercy, and with him is plenteous redemption. And he shall redeem Israel from all his iniquities.
* 129:4 Or, propitiation. 129:4 See Gen. 31. 53.
