< Psalms 130 >
1 A Song of degrees. Out of the depths do I call upon thee, Jehovah.
A song of ascents. Out of the depths I cry to you, Yahweh.
2 Lord, hear my voice; let thine 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 thou, Jah, shouldest mark iniquities, Lord, who shall stand?
If you, Yahweh, would mark iniquities, Lord, who could stand?
4 But there is forgiveness with thee, that thou mayest be feared.
But there is forgiveness with you, that you may be revered.
5 I wait for Jehovah; my soul doth wait, and in his word do I hope.
I wait for Yahweh, my soul waits, and in his word I hope.
6 My soul [waiteth] for the Lord more than the watchers [wait] for the morning, [more than] the watchers for the morning.
My soul waits for the Lord more than watchmen wait for the morning.
7 Let Israel hope in Jehovah, because with Jehovah there is loving-kindness, and with him is plenteous 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.
