DE PROFUNDIS Psalm 130 song lyrics

based on a translation, dedicated to Wilde Oscar

out of the deep I call to thee
Lord O Lord O hear my plea
listen please most carefully
to my prayer of supplication

if you tally every sin
who O Lord shall stand again?
only You can forgive fully
save my soul from damnation

de profundis O my Lord
de profundis dark
from my lips hear my praise
on my heart leave Your mark

my soul trusts in the Word
in the Gospel I have heard
my soul waits for the Lord
let me be Thy sword

from the early morning watch
and straight on through the night
let Israel hope in the Lord
and all will come out right

for from the Lord all mercy flows
and with Him comes redemption
and He will redeem Israel
and to Heaven ascension

de profundis O my Lord
de profundis dark
from my lips hear my praise
on my heart leave Your mark
