Psalms 130

1 A SONG OF THE ASCENTS. I have called You from the depths, YHWH.

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

2 Lord, listen to my voice, Your ears are attentive to the voice of my supplications.

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

3 If You observe iniquities, Lord YAH, who stands?

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

4 But forgiveness [is] with You, that You may be feared.

But you are forgiving so that we might respect you.

5 I hoped [for] YHWH—my soul has hoped, And I have waited for His word.

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

6 My soul [is] for the Lord, More than those watching for morning, Watching for 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 Israel waits on YHWH, For kindness [is] with YHWH, And redemption [is] abundant with Him.

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 redeems Israel from all his iniquities!

He will save Israel from every sin.
