_The Psalmist professeth his hope in prayer, and his patience in
hope.—He exhorteth Israel to hope in God._
A Song of degrees.
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.
If thou, LORD, shouldest mark iniquities, O Lord, who shall stand?
But _there is_ forgiveness with thee, that thou mayest be feared.
