Salme 130

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

Out of the depths I have cried to thee, O Lord:

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

Lord, hear my voice. Let thy 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, wilt mark iniquities: Lord, who shall stand it.

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

For with thee there is merciful forgiveness: and by reason of thy law, I have waited for thee, O Lord. My soul hath relied on his word:

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

My soul hath hoped in the Lord.

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

From the morning watch even until night, let Israel hope in the Lord.

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

Because with the Lord there is mercy: and with him plentiful redemption.

8 Og han vil forløse Israel fra alle dets Misgerninger.

And he shall redeem Israel from all his iniquities.
