< Psalms 130 >
1 A SONG OF THE ASCENTS. I have called You from the depths, YHWH.
A Song of Ascents. Out of the depths have I called Thee, O LORD.
2 Lord, listen to my voice, Your ears are attentive to the voice of my supplications.
Lord, hearken unto my voice; let Thine ears be attentive to the voice of my supplications.
3 If You observe iniquities, Lord YAH, who stands?
If Thou, LORD, shouldest mark iniquities, O Lord, who could stand?
4 But forgiveness [is] with You, that You may be feared.
For with Thee there is forgiveness, that Thou mayest be feared.
5 I hoped [for] YHWH—my soul has hoped, And I have waited for His word.
I wait for the LORD, my soul doth wait, and in His word do I hope.
6 My soul [is] for the Lord, More than those watching for morning, Watching for morning!
My soul waiteth for the Lord, more than watchmen for the morning; yea, more than watchmen for the morning.
7 Israel waits on YHWH, For kindness [is] with YHWH, And redemption [is] abundant with Him.
O Israel, hope in the LORD; for with the LORD there is mercy, and with Him is plenteous redemption.
8 And He redeems Israel from all his iniquities!
And He will redeem Israel from all his iniquities.
