"^(F1)Many times they have ^(C1)attacked me from my ^(C2)youth up," ^(C3)Let Israel say,

"^(F1)Many times they have attacked me from my youth up; Yet they have ^(C1)not prevailed against me.

-"The plowers plowed upon my back; They lengthened their furrows."

The LORD ^(C1)is righteous; He has cut up the ^(C2)ropes of the wicked.

May all who ^(C1)hate Zion Be ^(C2)put to shame and turned backward;

May they be like ^(C1)grass upon the housetops, Which withers before it ^(F1)grows up;

With which the harvester does not fill his ^(F1)hand, Or the binder of sheaves his ^(F2)(C1)arms;

Nor do those who pass by say, "The ^(C1)blessing of the LORD be upon you; We bless you in the name of the LORD."

Out of the ^(C1)depths I have cried to You, LORD.

Lord, ^(C1)hear my voice! Let ^(C2)Your ears be attentive To the ^(C3)sound of my pleadings.

If You, ^(F1)LORD, were to keep account of guilty deeds, Lord, who could ^(C1)stand?

But there is ^(C1)forgiveness with You, So that You may be ^(F1)(C2)revered.

I wait for the LORD, my ^(C1)soul waits, And I ^(F1)wait ^(C2)for His word.

My soul waits in hope for the Lord More than the watchmen ^(C1)for the morning; Yes, more than the watchmen for the morning.

Israel, ^(C1)wait for the LORD; For with the LORD there is ^(C2)mercy, And with Him is ^(C3)abundant redemption.

And He will ^(C1)redeem Israel From all his guilty deeds.

LORD, my heart is not ^(C1)proud, nor my eyes ^(C2)arrogant; Nor do I ^(F1)involve myself in ^(C3)great matters, Or in things ^(C4)too ^(F2)difficult for me.

I have certainly ^(C1)soothed and quieted my soul; Like a weaned ^(C2)child resting ^(F1)against his mother, My soul ^(F1)within me is like a weaned child.

Israel, ^(C1)wait for the LORD ^(C2)From this time on and forever.
