< 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 have cried to you, LORD.
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 the voice of my petitions.
3 If thou, Jah, shouldest mark iniquities, Lord, who shall stand?
If you, LORD, kept a record of sins, 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 the LORD. 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 the 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, hope in the LORD, for there is loving kindness with the LORD. Abundant redemption is with him.
8 And he will redeem Israel from all his iniquities.
He will redeem Israel from all their sins.
