Out of the depths
1
Yahweh, I have great troubles, so I call out to you.
2
Yahweh, hear me while I call out to you to have mercy on me!
3
Yahweh, if you kept a record of the sins that we have committed, not one of us would escape from being condemned and punished!
4
But you forgive us, with the result that we have an awesome respect for you.
5
Yahweh has said that he would help me; I trust what he said, and I wait eagerly for him to do that.
6
I wait for Yahweh to help me more than watchmen wait for the morning to come; yes, I wait more eagerly than they do!
7
You, my fellow Israelites, confidently expect that Yahweh will bless us. He will bless us because he has mercy on us, and he is very willing to save us.
8
It is he who will save us Israelite people from being punished for all the sins that we have committed.
