1From the depths of despair, O LORD,I call for your help.

2Hear my cry, O Lord.Pay attention to my prayer.

3LORD, if you kept a record of our sins,who, O Lord, could ever survive?

4But you offer forgiveness,that we might learn to fear you.

5I am counting on the LORD;yes, I am counting on him.I have put my hope in his word.

6I long for the Lordmore than sentries long for the dawn,yes, more than sentries long for the dawn.
