³ If you, Yah, kept a record of sins, Lord, who could stand?

⁴ But there is forgiveness with you, therefore you are feared.

⁵ I wait for Yahweh. My soul waits. I hope in his word.

⁶ My soul longs for the Lord more than watchmen long for the morning; more than watchmen for the morning.

⁷ Israel, hope in Yahweh, for with Yahweh there is loving kindness. With him is abundant redemption.

⁸ He will redeem Israel from all their sins. A Song of Ascents. By David.
