Salme 130

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

A Song of the Ascents. From depths I have called Thee, Jehovah.

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

Lord, hearken to my voice, Thine ears are attentive to the voice of my supplications.

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

If iniquities Thou dost observe, O Lord, who doth stand?

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

But with Thee [is] forgiveness, that Thou mayest be feared.

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

I hoped [for] Jehovah — hoped hath my soul, And for His word I have waited.

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

My soul [is] for the Lord, More than those watching for morning, Watching for morning!

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

Israel doth wait on Jehovah, For with Jehovah [is] kindness, And abundant with Him [is] redemption.

8 Og han vil forløse Israel fra alle dets Misgerninger.

And He doth redeem Israel from all his iniquities!
