Psalms 130

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

Out of the depths I have cried to you, Adonai.

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

Lord, sh'ma ·hear obey· my voice. Let your ears be attentive to the voice of my petitions.

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

If you, Yah, kept a record of depravities (moral evils), Lord, who could stand?

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

But there is forgiveness with you, therefore you are feared.

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

I wait for Adonai. My soul waits. I hope in his word.

6 My soul [is] for the Lord, More than those watching for morning, Watching for morning!

My soul longs for 'Adonay [Lord] more than watchmen long for the morning; more than watchmen for the morning.

7 Israel waits on YHWH, For kindness [is] with YHWH, And redemption [is] abundant with Him.

Israel [God prevails], hope in Adonai, for with Adonai there is chesed ·loving-kindness·. With him is abundant redemption.

8 And He redeems Israel from all his iniquities!

He will redeem Israel [God prevails] from all their depravities (moral evils).
