Salme 130

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

A song of ascents. Out of the depths I cry to you, Yahweh.

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

Lord, hear my voice; let your ears be attentive to my pleas for mercy.

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

If you, Yahweh, would mark iniquities, Lord, who could stand?

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

But there is forgiveness with you, that you may be revered.

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

I wait for Yahweh, my soul waits, and in his word I hope.

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

My soul waits for the Lord more than watchmen wait for the morning.

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

Israel, hope in Yahweh. Yahweh is merciful, and he is very willing to forgive.

8 Og han vil forløse Israel fra alle dets Misgerninger.

It is he who will redeem Israel from all his sins.
