< Psalms 130 >
1 [A Song of Ascents.] Out of the depths I have cried to you, LORD.
Out of the depths I have cried to thee, O Lord:
2 LORD, hear my voice. Let your ears be attentive to the voice of my petitions.
Lord, hear my voice. Let thy ears be attentive to the voice of my supplication.
3 If you, LORD, kept a record of sins, LORD, who could stand?
If thou, O Lord, wilt mark iniquities: Lord, who shall stand it.
4 But there is forgiveness with you, so that you may be revered.
For with thee there is merciful forgiveness: and by reason of thy law, I have waited for thee, O Lord. My soul hath relied on his word:
5 I wait for the LORD. My soul waits. I hope in his word.
My soul hath hoped in the Lord.
6 My soul longs for the LORD more than watchmen long for the morning; more than watchmen for the morning.
From the morning watch even until night, let Israel hope in the Lord.
7 Israel, hope in the LORD, for with the LORD there is loving kindness. With him is abundant redemption.
Because with the Lord there is mercy: and with him plentiful redemption.
8 He will redeem Israel from all their sins.
And he shall redeem Israel from all his iniquities.
