Lyrics

Out of the deep have I called unto thee O Lord;
Lord hear my voice.
O let thine ears consider well the voice of my complaint.
If thou, Lord wilt be extreme to mark what is done amiss;
O Lord, who may abide it.

For there is mercy with thee: therefore shalt thou be feared.
I look for the Lord; my soul doth wait for him:
in his word is my trust.

My soul fleeth before the Lord, before the morning watch.
I say before the morning watch.
O Israel, trust in the Lord for with the Lord there is mercy:
and with him is plenteous redemption,
And he shall redeem Israel, from all his sins.

Out of the deep have I called unto thee O Lord;
Lord hear my prayer.
