| New Living Translation | English Standard Version |
| 1From the depths of despair, O LORD, I call for your help. | 1Out of the depths I cry to you, O LORD! |
| 2Hear my cry, O Lord. Pay attention to my prayer. | 2O Lord, hear my voice! Let your ears be attentive to the voice of my pleas for mercy! |
| 3LORD, if you kept a record of our sins, who, O Lord, could ever survive? | 3If you, O LORD, should mark iniquities, O Lord, who could stand? |
| 4But you offer forgiveness, that we might learn to fear you. | 4But with you there is forgiveness, that you may be feared. |
| 5I am counting on the LORD; yes, I am counting on him. I have put my hope in his word. | 5I wait for the LORD, my soul waits, and in his word I hope; |
| 6I long for the Lord more than sentries long for the dawn, yes, more than sentries long for the dawn. | 6my soul waits for the Lord more than watchmen for the morning, more than watchmen for the morning. |
| 7O Israel, hope in the LORD; for with the LORD there is unfailing love. His redemption overflows. | 7O Israel, hope in the LORD! For with the LORD there is steadfast love, and with him is plentiful redemption. |
| 8He himself will redeem Israel from every kind of sin. | 8And he will redeem Israel from all his iniquities. |
