2. O Lord, listen to me!Pay attention to my plea for mercy!
3. If you, O Lord, were to keep track of sins,O Lord, who could stand before you?
4. But you are willing to forgive,so that you might be honored.
5. I rely on the Lord,I rely on him with my whole being;I wait for his assuring word.
6. I yearn for the Lord,more than watchmen do for the morning,yes, more than watchmen do for the morning.
7. O Israel, hope in the Lord,for the Lord exhibits loyal love,and is more than willing to deliver.
8. He will deliver Israelfrom all the consequences of their sins.
