Salme 130

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

A Song of Ascents. Out of the depths have I cried unto thee, O LORD.

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

Lord, hear 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 shall stand?

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

But there is forgiveness with thee, 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 [looketh] for the Lord, more than watchmen [look] 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 shall redeem Israel from all his iniquities.
