| English Standard Version | New International Version |
| 1Out of the depths I cry to you, O LORD! | 1A song of ascents. Out of the depths I cry to you, LORD; |
| 2O Lord, hear my voice! Let your ears be attentive to the voice of my pleas for mercy! | 2Lord, hear my voice. Let your ears be attentive to my cry for mercy. |
| 3If you, O LORD, should mark iniquities, O Lord, who could stand? | 3If you, LORD, kept a record of sins, Lord, who could stand? |
| 4But with you there is forgiveness, that you may be feared. | 4But with you there is forgiveness, so that we can, with reverence, serve you. |
| 5I wait for the LORD, my soul waits, and in his word I hope; | 5I wait for the LORD, my whole being waits, and in his word I put my hope. |
| 6my soul waits for the Lord more than watchmen for the morning, more than watchmen for the morning. | 6I wait for the Lord more than watchmen wait for the morning, more than watchmen wait for the morning. |
| 7O Israel, hope in the LORD! For with the LORD there is steadfast love, and with him is plentiful redemption. | 7Israel, put your hope in the LORD, for with the LORD is unfailing love and with him is full redemption. |
| 8And he will redeem Israel from all his iniquities. | 8He himself will redeem Israel from all their sins. |
