your guardian will not slumber; (4) See, the guardian of Israel
neither slumbers nor sleeps! (5) The LORD is your guardian,

at your right hand. (6) By day the sun will not strike you,
nor the moon by night. (7) The LORD will guard you from all harm;
He will guard your life. (8) The LORD will guard your going and coming
now and forever.
Out of the depths I call You, O LORD. (2) O Lord, listen to my cry;
let Your ears be attentive
to my plea for mercy. (3) If You keep account of sins, O LORD,
Lord, who will survive? (4) Yours is the power to forgive
so that You may be held in awe.
(5) I look to the LORD;
I look to Him;
I await His word. (6) I am more eager for the Lord
than watchmen for the morning,
watchmen for the morning.
(7) O Israel, wait for the LORD;
for with the LORD is steadfast love
and great power to redeem. (8) It is He who will redeem Israel from all their iniquities.
