4 But with you is forgiveness and so you are revered.
5 I wait for the Lord, my soul waits and I hope for his word.
6 My soul looks for the Lord more than sentinels for daybreak. More than sentinels for daybreak,
7 let Israel hope in the Lord, For with the Lord is mercy, with him is plenteous redemption,
8 And he will redeem Israel from all its sins.
