1Out of the depths I have cried to you, Adonai.

2Lord, sh'ma ·hear obey· my voice.

Let your ears be attentive to the voice of my petitions.

3If you, Yah, kept a record of depravities (moral evils),

Lord, who could stand?

4But there is forgiveness with you,

therefore you are feared.

5I wait for Adonai.

My soul waits.

I hope in his word.

6My soul longs for 'Adonay [Lord] more than watchmen long for the morning;

more than watchmen for the morning.

7Israel [God prevails], hope in Adonai,

for with Adonai there is chesed ·loving-kindness·.

With him is abundant redemption.

8He will redeem Israel [God prevails] from all their depravities (moral evils).
