< Psalms 130 >
1 A Canticle in steps. From the depths, I have cried out to you, O Lord.
A Song of degrees. Out of the depths have I cried unto thee, O LORD.
2 O Lord, hear my voice. Let your ears be attentive to the voice of my supplication.
Lord, hear my voice: let thine ears be attentive to the voice of my supplications.
3 If you, O Lord, were to heed iniquities, who, O Lord, could persevere?
If thou, LORD, shouldest mark iniquities, O Lord, who shall stand?
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 thee, that thou mayest be feared.
5 My soul has hoped in the Lord.
I wait for the LORD, my soul doth wait, and in his word do I hope.
6 From the morning watch, even until night, let Israel hope in the Lord.
My soul [waiteth] for the Lord more than they that watch for the morning: [I say, more than] they that watch for the morning.
7 For with the Lord there is mercy, and with him there is bountiful redemption.
Let Israel hope in the LORD: for with the LORD [there is] mercy, and with him [is] plenteous redemption.
8 And he will redeem Israel from all his iniquities.
And he shall redeem Israel from all his iniquities.
