Salme 130

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

“A psalm of the steps, or the goings up.” Out of the depths do I cry to thee, O LORD!

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

O Lord! listen to my voice, Let thine ears be attentive to my supplication!

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

If thou, LORD, shouldst treasure up transgressions, Lord, who could stand?

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

But with thee is forgiveness, That thou mayst be feared.

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

I trust in the LORD; my soul doth trust, And in his promise do I confide.

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

My soul waiteth for the LORD More than they who watch for the morning; Yea, more than they who watch for the morning!

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

O Israel! trust 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.

He will redeem Israel From all his iniquities.
