< Psalms 130 >
1 A Song of degrees. Out of the depths have I cried unto thee, O LORD.
A Song of Ascents. Out of the depths I have cried to you, LORD.
2 Lord, hear my voice: let thine ears be attentive to the voice of my supplications.
Lord, hear my voice. Let your ears be attentive to the voice of my petitions.
3 If thou, LORD, shouldest mark iniquities, O Lord, who shall stand?
If you, LORD, kept a record of sins, Lord, who could stand?
4 But [there is] forgiveness with thee, that thou mayest be feared.
But there is forgiveness with you, therefore you are feared.
5 I wait for the LORD, my soul doth wait, and in his word do I hope.
I wait for the LORD. My soul waits. I hope in his word.
6 My soul [waiteth] for the Lord more than they that watch for the morning: [I say, more than] they that watch for the morning.
My soul longs for the Lord more than watchmen long for the morning, more than watchmen for the morning.
7 Let Israel hope in the LORD: for with the LORD [there is] mercy, and with him [is] plenteous redemption.
Israel, hope in the LORD, for there is loving kindness with the LORD. Abundant redemption is with him.
8 And he shall redeem Israel from all his iniquities.
He will redeem Israel from all their sins.
