Let Israel hope in the LORD:
for with the LORD there is mercy,
and with him is plenteous redemption.
And he shall redeem Israel
from all his iniquities.

I wait for the LORD, my soul doth wait,
and in his word do I hope.
My soul waiteth for the Lord
more than they that watch for the morning:
I say, more than they that watch for the morning.

But there is forgiveness with thee,
that thou mayest be feared.

If thou, LORD, shouldest mark iniquities,
O Lord, who shall stand?

Out of the depths have I cried unto thee, O LORD.
Lord, hear my voice:
let thine ears be attentive to the voice of my supplications.

Wherewith the mower filleth not his hand;
nor he that bindeth sheaves his bosom.
Neither do they which go by say,
The blessing of the LORD be upon you: we bless you in the name of the LORD.

Let them all be confounded and turned back
that hate Zion.
Let them be as the grass upon the housetops,
which withereth afore it groweth up:

The LORD is righteous:
he hath cut asunder the cords of the wicked.

The plowers plowed upon my back:
they made long their furrows.

Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth,
may Israel now say:
Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth:
yet they have not prevailed against me.
