Psalms 130

1 A Canticle in steps. From the depths, I have cried out to you, O Lord.

[A Song of Ascents.] Out of the depths I have cried to you, LORD.

2 O Lord, hear my voice. Let your ears be attentive to the voice of my supplication.

LORD, hear my voice. Let your ears be attentive to the voice of my petitions.

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

If you, LORD, kept a record of sins, LORD, who could 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 you, so that you may be revered.

5 My soul has hoped in the Lord.

I wait for the LORD. My soul waits. I hope in his word.

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

My soul longs for the LORD more than watchmen long for the morning; more than watchmen for the morning.

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

Israel, hope in the LORD, for with the LORD there is loving kindness. With him is abundant redemption.

8 And he will redeem Israel from all his iniquities.

He will redeem Israel from all their sins.
