Salme 130

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

A Song of Ascents. Out of the depths have I called Thee, O LORD.

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

Lord, hearken unto my voice; let Thine ears be attentive to the voice of my supplications.

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

If Thou, LORD, shouldest mark iniquities, O Lord, who could stand?

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

For with Thee there is forgiveness, that Thou mayest be feared.

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

I wait for the LORD, my soul doth wait, and in His word do I hope.

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

My soul waiteth for the Lord, more than watchmen for the morning; yea, more than watchmen for the morning.

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

O Israel, hope in the LORD; for with the LORD there is mercy, and with Him is plenteous redemption.

8 Og han vil forløse Israel fra alle dets Misgerninger.

And He will redeem Israel from all his iniquities.
