My soul hath relied on his word: 5. My soul hath hoped in the Lord. 6. From the morning watch even until night, let Israel hope in the Lord. 7. Because with the Lord there is mercy: and with him plentiful redemption. 8. And he shall redeem Israel from all his iniquities.

Si iniquitates observaveris, Domine, Domine, quis sustinebit? 4. Quia apud te propitiatio est; et propter legem tuam sustinui te, Domine.

A custodia matutina usque ad noctem, speret Israel in Domino; 7. quia apud Dominum misericordia, et copiosa apud eum redemptio. 8. Et ipse redimet Israel ex omnibus iniquitatibus ejus.
