Salme 130

1 Sang til Festrejserne. Fra det dybe raaber jeg til dig, HERRE,

A Song of Degrees. Out of the depths have I cried to thee, O Lord.

2 o Herre, hør min Røst! Lad dine Ører lytte til min tryglende Røst!

O Lord, hearken to my voice; let thine ears be attentive to the voice of my supplication.

3 Tog du Vare, HERRE, paa Misgerninger, Herre, hvo kunde da bestaa?

If thou, O Lord, shouldest mark iniquities, O Lord, who shall stand?

4 Men hos dig er der Syndsforladelse, at du maa frygtes.

For with thee is forgiveness: for thy name's sake

5 Jeg haaber paa HERREN, min Sjæl haaber paa hans Ord,

have I waited for thee, O Lord, my soul has waited for thy word.

6 paa Herren bier min Sjæl mer end Vægter paa Morgen, Vægter paa Morgen.

My soul has hoped in the Lord; from the morning watch till night.

7 Israel, bi paa HERREN! Thi hos HERREN er Miskundhed, hos ham er Forløsning i Overflod.

Let Israel hope in the Lord: for with the Lord is mercy, and with him is plenteous redemption.

8 Og han vil forløse Israel fra alle dets Misgerninger.

And he shall redeem Israel from all his iniquities.
