Psalms 130

1 A Song of Degrees. Out of the depths have I cried to you, O Lord.

Out of the depths I have cried to you, Adonai.

2 O Lord, listen to my voice; let your ears be attentive to the voice of my supplication.

Lord, sh'ma ·hear obey· my voice. Let your ears be attentive to the voice of my petitions.

3 If you, O Lord, should mark iniquities, O Lord, who shall stand?

If you, Yah, kept a record of depravities (moral evils), Lord, who could stand?

4 For with you is forgiveness: for your name's sake

But there is forgiveness with you, therefore you are feared.

5 have I waited for you, O Lord, my soul has waited for your word.

I wait for Adonai. My soul waits. I hope in his word.

6 My soul has hoped in the Lord; from the morning watch till night.

My soul longs for 'Adonay [Lord] more than watchmen long for the morning; more than watchmen for the morning.

7 Let Israel hope in the Lord: for with the Lord is mercy, and with him is plenteous redemption.

Israel [God prevails], hope in Adonai, for with Adonai there is chesed ·loving-kindness·. With him is abundant redemption.

8 And he shall redeem Israel from all his iniquities.

He will redeem Israel [God prevails] from all their depravities (moral evils).
