< Psalms 130 >
1 Out of the depths I have cried to thee, O Lord:
A song of ascents. Out of the depths I cry to You, O LORD!
2 Lord, hear my voice. Let thy ears be attentive to the voice of my supplication.
O Lord, hear my voice; let Your ears be attentive to my plea for mercy.
3 If thou, O Lord, wilt mark iniquities: Lord, who shall stand it.
If You, O LORD, kept track of iniquities, then who, O Lord, could stand?
4 For with thee there is merciful forgiveness: and by reason of thy law, I have waited for thee, O Lord. My soul hath relied on his word:
But with You there is forgiveness, so that You may be feared.
5 My soul hath hoped in the Lord.
I wait for the LORD; my soul does wait, and in His word I put my hope.
6 From the morning watch even until night, let Israel hope in the Lord.
My soul waits for the Lord more than watchmen wait for the morning— more than watchmen wait for the morning.
7 Because with the Lord there is mercy: and with him plentiful redemption.
O Israel, put your hope in the LORD, for with the LORD is loving devotion, and with Him is redemption in abundance.
8 And he shall redeem Israel from all his iniquities.
And He will redeem Israel from all iniquity.
