< Psalms 130 >
1 A SONG OF THE ASCENTS. I have called You from the depths, YHWH.
A Song of degrees. Out of the depths have I cried unto thee, O LORD.
2 Lord, listen to my voice, Your ears are attentive to the voice of my supplications.
Lord, hear 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 shall stand?
4 But forgiveness [is] with You, that You may be feared.
But [there is] forgiveness with thee, 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 they that watch for the morning: [I say, more than] they that watch for the morning.
7 Israel waits on YHWH, For kindness [is] with YHWH, And redemption [is] abundant with Him.
Let 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 shall redeem Israel from all his iniquities.
