1ωδη των αναβαθμων εκ βαθεων εκεκραξα ϲε κε 2κε ειϲακουϲον τηϲ φωνηϲ μου γενηθητω τα ωτα ϲου προϲεχοντα ειϲ την φωνην τηϲ δεηϲεωϲ μου 3εαν ανομιαϲ παρατηρηϲη κε κε τιϲ υποϲτηϲητε 4οτι παρα ϲοι ο ειλαϲμοϲ εϲτιν 5ενεκεν του ονοματοϲ ϲου υπεμεινα κε ϋπεμινεν η ψυχη μου ειϲ τον νομον αυτου
1Out of the depths have I cried unto thee, O LORD. 2Lord, hear my voice: let thine ears be attentive to the voice of my supplications. 3If thou, LORD, shouldest mark iniquities, O Lord, who shall stand? 4But there is forgiveness with thee, that thou mayest be feared. 5I wait for the LORD, my soul doth wait, and in his word do I hope.
6ηλπιϲεν η ψυχη μου επι τον κν απο φυλακηϲ πρωϊαϲ μεχρι νυκτοϲ 7οτι παρα τω κω το ελεοϲ και πολλη παρ αυτω λυτρωϲιϲ 8και αυτοϲ λυτρωϲεται τον ιϲλ εκ παϲω των ανομιων αυτου
6My soul waiteth for the Lord more than they that watch for the morning: I say, more than they that watch for the morning. 7Let Israel hope in the LORD: for with the LORD there is mercy, and with him is plenteous redemption. 8And he shall redeem Israel from all his iniquities.
