Psalms 130

1 A Song of degrees. Out of the depths do I call upon thee, Jehovah.

Out of the depths I have cried to you, Adonai.

2 Lord, hear my voice; let thine ears be attentive to the voice of my supplication.

Lord, sh'ma ·hear obey· my voice. Let your ears be attentive to the voice of my petitions.

3 If thou, Jah, shouldest mark iniquities, Lord, who shall stand?

If you, Yah, kept a record of depravities (moral evils), Lord, who could stand?

4 But there is forgiveness with thee, that thou mayest be feared.

But there is forgiveness with you, therefore you are feared.

5 I wait for Jehovah; my soul doth wait, and in his word do I hope.

I wait for Adonai. My soul waits. I hope in his word.

6 My soul [waiteth] for the Lord more than the watchers [wait] for the morning, [more than] the watchers for the morning.

My soul longs for 'Adonay [Lord] more than watchmen long for the morning; more than watchmen for the morning.

7 Let Israel hope in Jehovah, because with Jehovah there is loving-kindness, and with him is plenteous redemption;

Israel [God prevails], hope in Adonai, for with Adonai there is chesed ·loving-kindness·. With him is abundant redemption.

8 And he will redeem Israel from all his iniquities.

He will redeem Israel [God prevails] from all their depravities (moral evils).
