Psalms 130

1 “A song of the degrees.” Out of the depths have I called thee, O Lord.

A song of ascents. Out of the depths I cry to you, Yahweh.

2 Lord, listen to my voice: let thy ears be attentive to the voice of my supplications.

Lord, hear my voice; let your ears be attentive to my pleas for mercy.

3 If thou, Lord, shouldst treasure up iniquities, O Lord, who would be able to stand?

If you, Yahweh, would mark iniquities, Lord, who could stand?

4 But with thee there is forgiveness, in order that thou mayest be feared.

But there is forgiveness with you, that you may be revered.

5 I hope for the Lord, my soul doth hope, and for his word do I wait.

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

6 My soul [waiteth] for the Lord, more than they that watch for the morning expect the morning.

My soul waits for the Lord more than watchmen wait for the morning.

7 Let Israel wait for the Lord; for with the Lord there is kindness, and with him is redemption in abundance;

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

8 And he wilt surely redeem Israel from all his iniquities.

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