< Psalms 130 >
1 A song of ascents. Out of the depths I cry to You, O LORD!
A Song of degrees. Out of the depths do I call upon thee, Jehovah.
2 O Lord, hear my voice; let Your ears be attentive to my plea for mercy.
Lord, hear my voice; let thine ears be attentive to the voice of my supplication.
3 If You, O LORD, kept track of iniquities, then who, O Lord, could stand?
If thou, Jah, shouldest mark iniquities, Lord, who shall stand?
4 But with You there is forgiveness, so that You may be feared.
But there is forgiveness with thee, that thou mayest be feared.
5 I wait for the LORD; my soul does wait, and in His word I put my hope.
I wait for Jehovah; my soul doth wait, and in his word do I hope.
6 My soul waits for the Lord more than watchmen wait for the morning— more than watchmen wait for the morning.
My soul [waiteth] for the Lord more than the watchers [wait] for the morning, [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.
Let Israel hope in Jehovah, because with Jehovah there is loving-kindness, and with him is plenteous redemption;
8 And He will redeem Israel from all iniquity.
And he will redeem Israel from all his iniquities.
