My Soul Waits for the Lord

A Song of (A)Ascents.

130 Out of (B)the depths I cry to you, O Lord!
    O Lord, hear my voice!
(C)Let your ears be attentive
    to (D)the voice of my pleas for mercy!

If you, O Lord, should (E)mark iniquities,
    O Lord, who could (F)stand?
But with you there is (G)forgiveness,
    (H)that you may be feared.

I (I)wait for the Lord, (J)my soul waits,
    and (K)in his word I hope;
my soul (L)waits for the Lord
    more than (M)watchmen for (N)the morning,
    more than watchmen for the morning.

O Israel, (O)hope in the Lord!
    For (P)with the Lord there is steadfast love,
    and with him is plentiful redemption.
And he will (Q)redeem Israel
    from all his iniquities.

I Have Calmed and Quieted My Soul

A Song of (R)Ascents. Of David.

131 O Lord, my heart is not (S)lifted up;
    my eyes are not (T)raised too high;
I do not (U)occupy myself with things
    too great and (V)too marvelous for me.
But I have calmed and quieted my soul,
    like a weaned (W)child with its mother;
    like a weaned child is my soul within me.

(X)O Israel, hope in the Lord
    from this time forth and forevermore.
