Psalms 130

1 A song for pilgrims going up to Jerusalem. Lord, I cry out to you from the depths of my pain.

Out of the depths I have cried to you, Adonai.

2 Please listen to my cry, and pay attention to what I'm asking.

Lord, sh'ma ·hear obey· my voice. Let your ears be attentive to the voice of my petitions.

3 Lord, if you kept a list of sins, who could escape being condemned?

If you, Yah, kept a record of depravities (moral evils), Lord, who could stand?

4 But you are forgiving so that we might respect you.

But there is forgiveness with you, therefore you are feared.

5 I'm waiting for the Lord, longingly waiting, for I trust in his word.

I wait for Adonai. My soul waits. I hope in his word.

6 I long for the Lord to come, more than watchmen longing for the dawn to come, more than watchmen longing for the dawn to come.

My soul longs for 'Adonay [Lord] more than watchmen long for the morning; more than watchmen for the morning.

7 Israel, put your hope in the Lord, for the Lord loves us with a trustworthy love and his salvation knows no limits.

Israel [God prevails], hope in Adonai, for with Adonai there is chesed ·loving-kindness·. With him is abundant redemption.

8 He will save Israel from every sin.

He will redeem Israel [God prevails] from all their depravities (moral evils).
