Psalms 130

1 A Song of Ascents. Out of the depths have I called Thee, O LORD.

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

2 Lord, hearken unto my voice; let Thine ears be attentive to the voice of my supplications.

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

3 If Thou, LORD, shouldest mark iniquities, O Lord, who could stand?

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

4 For with Thee there is forgiveness, that Thou mayest be feared.

But you are forgiving so that we might respect you.

5 I wait for the LORD, my soul doth wait, and in His word do I hope.

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

6 My soul waiteth for the Lord, more than watchmen for the morning; yea, more than watchmen for the morning.

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.

7 O Israel, hope in the LORD; for with the LORD there is mercy, and with Him is plenteous redemption.

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

8 And He will redeem Israel from all his iniquities.

He will save Israel from every sin.
