Psalms 130

1 [A Song of Ascents.] Out of the depths I have cried to you, Jehovah.

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

2 Jehovah, hear my voice. Let your ears be attentive to the voice of my petitions.

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

3 If you, JAH, kept a record of sins, Jehovah, who could stand?

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

4 But there is forgiveness with you, so that you may be revered.

But you are forgiving so that we might respect you.

5 I wait for Jehovah. My soul waits. I hope in his word.

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

6 My soul longs for Jehovah more than watchmen long for the morning; more than watchmen for the 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, hope in Jehovah, for with Jehovah there is loving kindness. With him is abundant redemption.

Israel, put your hope in the Lord, for the Lord loves us with a trustworthy love and his salvation knows no limits.

8 He will redeem Israel from all their sins.

He will save Israel from every sin.
