¹ Lord, I am in great trouble,
    so I call out to you.
² Lord, hear my voice;
    listen to my prayer for help.
³ Lord, if you punished people for all their sins,
    no one would be left, Lord.
⁴ But you forgive us,
    so you are respected.

⁵ I wait for the Lord to help me,
    and I trust his word.
⁶ I wait for the Lord to help me
    more than night watchmen wait for the dawn,
    more than night watchmen wait for the dawn.

⁷ People of Israel, put your hope in the Lord
    because he is loving
    and able to save.
⁸ He will save Israel
    from all their sins.
