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, Yahweh.

2 Lord, hear my voice. Let thy 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, O Lord, wilt mark iniquities: Lord, who shall stand it.

If you, Yahweh, would mark iniquities, Lord, who 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 there is forgiveness with you, that you may be revered.

5 My soul hath hoped in the Lord.

I wait for Yahweh, my soul waits, and in his word I 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.

7 Because with the Lord there is mercy: and with him plentiful redemption.

Israel, hope in Yahweh. Yahweh is merciful, and he is very willing to forgive.

8 And he shall redeem Israel from all his iniquities.

It is he who will redeem Israel from all his sins.
