Psalms 130

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

5 I wait for YHWH. My soul waits. I hope in 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 longs for YHWH more than watchmen long for the morning; more than watchmen for the 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, hope in YHWH, for with YHWH there is loving kindness. With him is abundant redemption.

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 He will redeem Israel from all their sins.

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