Out of the depths I cry to you, O Lord!
2     O Lord, hear my voice!
Let your ears be attentive
to the voice of my pleas for mercy!

3 If you, O Lord, should mark iniquities,
O Lord, who could stand?
4 But with you there is forgiveness,
that you may be feared.

5 I wait for the Lord, my soul waits,
and in his word I hope;
6 my soul waits for the Lord
more than watchmen for the morning,
more than watchmen for the morning.

He IS above the Highest of the Heavens

In His mercy He has descended into Sheol.

He IS near to the place where my heart sinks.

He IS near to the brokenhearted.

Hear our cry, O LORD, our rock and our Redeemer.
