¹ A Canticle in steps. From the depths, I have cried out to you, O Lord.

² O Lord, hear my voice. Let your ears be attentive to the voice of my supplication.

³ If you, O Lord, were to heed iniquities, who, O Lord, could persevere?

⁴ For with you, there is forgiveness, and because of your law, I persevered with you, Lord. My soul has persevered in his word.

⁵ My soul has hoped in the Lord.

⁶ From the morning watch, even until night, let Israel hope in the Lord.

⁷ For with the Lord there is mercy, and with him there is bountiful redemption.

⁸ And he will redeem Israel from all his iniquities.
