< Psalms 130 >
1 “A psalm of the steps, or the goings up.” Out of the depths do I cry to thee, O LORD!
“A song of the degrees.” Out of the depths have I called thee, O Lord.
2 O Lord! listen to my voice, Let thine ears be attentive to my supplication!
Lord, listen to my voice: let thy ears be attentive to the voice of my supplications.
3 If thou, LORD, shouldst treasure up transgressions, Lord, who could stand?
If thou, Lord, shouldst treasure up iniquities, O Lord, who would be able to stand?
4 But with thee is forgiveness, That thou mayst be feared.
But with thee there is forgiveness, in order that thou mayest be feared.
5 I trust in the LORD; my soul doth trust, And in his promise do I confide.
I hope for the Lord, my soul doth hope, and for his word do I wait.
6 My soul waiteth for the LORD More than they who watch for the morning; Yea, more than they who watch for the morning!
My soul [waiteth] for the Lord, more than they that watch for the morning expect the morning.
7 O Israel! trust in the LORD! For with the LORD is mercy, And with him is plenteous redemption.
Let Israel wait for the Lord; for with the Lord there is kindness, and with him is redemption in abundance;
8 He will redeem Israel From all his iniquities.
And he wilt surely redeem Israel from all his iniquities.
