1Out of the depths I cry to you, O Lord ; 2O Lord, hear my voice. Let your ears be attentive to my cry for mercy. 3If you, O Lord , kept a record of sins, O Lord, who could stand? 4But with you there is forgiveness; therefore you are feared. 5I wait
1My heart is not proud, O Lord , my eyes are not haughty; I do not concern myself with great matters or things too wonderful for me. 2But I have stilled and quieted my soul; like a weaned child with its mother, like a weaned child is my soul within m
