< Psalms 130 >
1 A song of ascents. Out of the depths I cry to You, O LORD!
A Song of the Ascents. From depths I have called Thee, Jehovah.
2 O Lord, hear my voice; let Your ears be attentive to my plea for mercy.
Lord, hearken to my voice, Thine ears are attentive to the voice of my supplications.
3 If You, O LORD, kept track of iniquities, then who, O Lord, could stand?
If iniquities Thou dost observe, O Lord, who doth stand?
4 But with You there is forgiveness, so that You may be feared.
But with Thee [is] forgiveness, that Thou mayest be feared.
5 I wait for the LORD; my soul does wait, and in His word I put my hope.
I hoped [for] Jehovah — hoped hath my soul, And for His word I have waited.
6 My soul waits for the Lord more than watchmen wait for the morning— more than watchmen wait for the morning.
My soul [is] for the Lord, More than those watching for morning, Watching for 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 doth wait on Jehovah, For with Jehovah [is] kindness, And abundant with Him [is] redemption.
8 And He will redeem Israel from all iniquity.
And He doth redeem Israel from all his iniquities!
