Out of the depths I cry to you, O Lord
O Lord, hear my voice.
Let your ears be attentive to my cry for mercy.
If you, O Lord, kept a record of sins,
O Lord, who could stand?
But with you there is [forgiveness];
therefore you are feared.
I wait for the Lord, my soul waits,
and in his word I put my hope.
My soul waits for the Lord
more than watchmen wait for the morning,
more than watchmen wait for the morning.
O Israel, put your hope in the Lord,
for with the Lord is [unfailing love]
and with him is [full redemption.]
He himself will redeem Israel from all their sins.
Lamentations 3:22-3
It is because of the Lord's mercy and loving-kindness we are not consumed,
because His compassions fail not.
They are new every morning;
great and abundant is your stability and faithfulness.
