Psalms 130

1 A Canticle in steps. From the depths, I have cried out 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 the voice of my supplication.

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

3 If you, O Lord, were to heed iniquities, who, O Lord, could persevere?

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

4 For with you, there is forgiveness, and because of your law, I persevered with you, Lord. My soul has persevered in his word.

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

5 My soul has hoped in the Lord.

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

6 From the morning watch, even until night, let Israel hope in the Lord.

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 For with the Lord there is mercy, and with him there is bountiful redemption.

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

8 And he will redeem Israel from all his iniquities.

And he will make Israel free from all his sins.
