(A song for worship.)
Trusting the Lord in Times of Trouble
1 From a sea of troubles
I cry out to you, Lord.
2 Won't you please listen
as I beg for mercy?
3 If you kept record of our sins,
no one could last long.
4 But you forgive us,
and so we will worship you.
5 With all my heart,
I am waiting, Lord, for you!
I trust your promises.
6 I wait for you more eagerly
than a soldier on guard duty
waits for the dawn.
Yes, I wait more eagerly
than a soldier on guard duty
waits for the dawn.
7 Israel, trust the Lord!
God is always merciful
and has the power to save you.
8 Israel, the Lord will save you
from all your sins.

1 Augšupceļa dziesma.
No dzelmes saucu
tev, mans Kungs:
2 Kungs, ieklausies manā balsī,
lai dzird tavas ausis
manu gaušanos!
3 Kungs, ja tu skaitītu mūsu apgrēcības,
mans Kungs, kurš gan pastāvētu?
4 Taču tu mēdz piedot –
tādēļ tevi bijā!
5 Es gaidu Kungu no visas sirds,
uz viņa vārdu es ceru,
6 es gaidu Kungu vairāk
nekā sargi rītu,
nekā sargi – rītu!
7 Ceri, Israēl, uz Kungu –
viņā ir žēlastība!
Tik daudzus viņš izpircis!
8 Viņš izpirks Israēlu
no katras apgrēcības!
