< Psalms 130 >
1 A song of ascents. Out of the depths I cry to You, O LORD!
A song of ascents. Out of the depths I cry to you, Yahweh.
2 O Lord, hear my voice; let Your ears be attentive to my plea for mercy.
Lord, hear my voice; let your ears be attentive to my pleas for mercy.
3 If You, O LORD, kept track of iniquities, then who, O Lord, could stand?
If you, Yahweh, would mark iniquities, Lord, who could stand?
4 But with You there is forgiveness, so that You may be feared.
But there is forgiveness with you, that you may be revered.
5 I wait for the LORD; my soul does wait, and in His word I put my hope.
I wait for Yahweh, my soul waits, and in his word 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 waits for the Lord more than watchmen wait 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.
Israel, hope in Yahweh. Yahweh is merciful, and he is very willing to forgive.
8 And He will redeem Israel from all iniquity.
It is he who will redeem Israel from all his sins.
