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 cry to you, Yahweh.

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 my pleas for mercy.

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

If you, Yahweh, would mark iniquities, 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, that you may be revered.

5 My soul has hoped in the Lord.

I wait for Yahweh, my soul waits, and in his word I hope.

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

My soul waits for the Lord more than watchmen wait for the morning.

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

Israel, hope in Yahweh. Yahweh is merciful, and he is very willing to forgive.

8 And he will redeem Israel from all his iniquities.

It is he who will redeem Israel from all his sins.
