¹A song of the sundial degree markings.

I have called on you, O Lord,

From the depths.

²O Lord^*, hear my voice.

May your ears be attentive

To the sound of my supplications.

³If the Lord were to keep a record of iniquities,

O Lord^*, who could stand?

⁴For forgiveness is with you

In order that you should be feared.

⁵I have put hope in the Lord;

My being has hope,

And I await his word.

⁶My being awaits the Lord^*

More keenly than men on watch for the morning

– Watchmen waiting for the morning.

⁷O Israel, await the Lord,

For with the Lord there is kindness,

And with him there is much redemption.

⁸And he will redeem Israel

From all its iniquities.
