< 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 have cried to you, LORD.
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 the voice of my petitions.
3 If thou, Lord, shouldst treasure up iniquities, O Lord, who would be able to stand?
If you, LORD, kept a record of sins, Lord, who could stand?
4 But with thee there is forgiveness, in order that thou mayest be feared.
But there is forgiveness with you, therefore you are feared.
5 I hope for the Lord, my soul doth hope, and for his word do I wait.
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 expect the morning.
My soul longs for the Lord more than watchmen long for the morning, more than watchmen 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 the LORD, for there is loving kindness with the LORD. Abundant redemption is with him.
8 And he wilt surely redeem Israel from all his iniquities.
He will redeem Israel from all their sins.
