Psalms 130

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

A Song of the Ascents. From depths I have called Thee, Jehovah.

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

Lord, hearken to my voice, Thine ears are attentive to the voice of my supplications.

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

If iniquities Thou dost observe, O Lord, who doth stand?

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

But with Thee [is] forgiveness, that Thou mayest be feared.

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

I hoped [for] Jehovah — hoped hath my soul, And for His word I have waited.

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 [is] for the Lord, More than those watching for morning, Watching for 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 doth wait on Jehovah, For with Jehovah [is] kindness, And abundant with Him [is] redemption.

8 He will save Israel from every sin.

And He doth redeem Israel from all his iniquities!
