Psalms 130:2
1 Out of the depths I cry to You, O LORD!
O Lord, hear my voice; let Your ears be attentive to my plea for mercy.
3 If You, O LORD, kept track of iniquities, then who, O Lord, could stand?
4 But with You there is forgiveness, so that You may be feared.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
