Psalms 130

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

Yahweh, I have a lot of troubles/many difficulties, so I call out to you.

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

Yahweh, hear me, while I call out to you [SYN] to be merciful to me!

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

Yahweh, if you kept a record of the sins [that we have committed], not one [of us] [RHQ] would escape from being condemned [and punished]

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

But you forgive us, with the result that we greatly revere you.

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

Yahweh has said [that he would help/rescue me]; I trust what he said, and I wait eagerly for him to do that.

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

I wait for Yahweh [to help me] more than watchmen wait for the light to dawn; yes, I wait more eagerly than they do!

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

You [my fellow] Israelis, confidently expect that Yahweh [will bless us]. [He will bless us] because he faithfully loves [us], and he is very willing to save/rescue [us].

8 And He redeems Israel from all his iniquities!

And he will save us Israeli [people] from [being punished for] all the sins that [we] have committed.
