Psalms 130

1 A song of ascents. Out of the depths I cry to You, O LORD!

A Song of the going up. Out of the deep have I sent up my cry to you, O Lord.

2 O Lord, hear my voice; let Your ears be attentive to my plea for mercy.

Lord, let my voice come before you: let your ears be awake to the voice of my prayer.

3 If You, O LORD, kept track of iniquities, then who, O Lord, could stand?

O Jah, if you took note of every sin, who would go free?

4 But with You there is forgiveness, so that You may be feared.

But there is forgiveness with you, so that you may be feared.

5 I wait for the LORD; my soul does wait, and in His word I put my hope.

I am waiting for the Lord, my soul is waiting for him, and my hope is in his word.

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

My soul is watching for the Lord more than those who are watching for the morning; yes, more than the watchers for the morning.

7 O Israel, put your hope in the LORD, for with the LORD is loving devotion, and with Him is redemption in abundance.

O Israel, have hope in the Lord; for with the Lord is mercy and full salvation.

8 And He will redeem Israel from all iniquity.

And he will make Israel free from all his sins.
