Psalms 130

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

Yahweh, I have a lot of troubles/many difficulties, so I call out to you.

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

Yahweh, hear me, while I call out to you [SYN] to be merciful to me!

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

Yahweh, if you kept a record of the sins [that we have committed], not one [of us] [RHQ] would escape from being condemned [and punished]

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

But you forgive us, with the result that we greatly revere you.

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

Yahweh has said [that he would help/rescue me]; I trust what he said, and I wait eagerly for him to do that.

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

I wait for Yahweh [to help me] more than watchmen wait for the light to dawn; yes, I wait more eagerly than they do!

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

You [my fellow] Israelis, confidently expect that Yahweh [will bless us]. [He will bless us] because he faithfully loves [us], and he is very willing to save/rescue [us].

8 And he will redeem Israel from all his iniquities.

And he will save us Israeli [people] from [being punished for] all the sins that [we] have committed.
