< Psalms 130 >
1 A Canticle in steps. From the depths, I have cried out to you, O Lord.
A Song of the Ascents. From depths I have called Thee, Jehovah.
2 O Lord, hear my voice. Let your ears be attentive to the voice of my supplication.
Lord, hearken to my voice, Thine ears are attentive to the voice of my supplications.
3 If you, O Lord, were to heed iniquities, who, O Lord, could persevere?
If iniquities Thou dost observe, O Lord, who doth 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 with Thee [is] forgiveness, that Thou mayest be feared.
5 My soul has hoped in the Lord.
I hoped [for] Jehovah — hoped hath my soul, And for His word I have waited.
6 From the morning watch, even until night, let Israel hope in the Lord.
My soul [is] for the Lord, More than those watching for morning, Watching for morning!
7 For with the Lord there is mercy, and with him there is bountiful redemption.
Israel doth wait on Jehovah, For with Jehovah [is] kindness, And abundant with Him [is] redemption.
8 And he will redeem Israel from all his iniquities.
And He doth redeem Israel from all his iniquities!
