¹ From a sea of troubles
    I call out to you, Lord.
²     Won't you please listen
    as I beg for mercy?

³ If you kept record of our sins,
    no one could last long.
⁴     But you forgive us,
    and so we will worship you.

⁵ With all my heart,
I am waiting, Lord, for you!
    I trust your promises.
⁶ I wait for you more eagerly
    than a soldier on guard duty
    waits for the dawn.
Yes, I wait more eagerly
    than a soldier on guard duty
    waits for the dawn.

⁷ Israel, trust the Lord!
    He is always merciful,
    and he has the power
    to save you.
⁸ Israel, the Lord will save you
    from all of your sins.
