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 Ascents.] Out of the depths I have cried to you, YHWH.

2 O Lord! listen to my voice, Let thine ears be attentive to my supplication!

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

3 If thou, LORD, shouldst treasure up transgressions, Lord, who could stand?

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

4 But with thee is forgiveness, That thou mayst be feared.

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

5 I trust in the LORD; my soul doth trust, And in his promise do I confide.

I wait for YHWH. My soul waits. I hope in his word.

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 longs for YHWH more than watchmen long for the morning; more than watchmen for the morning.

7 O Israel! trust in the LORD! For with the LORD is mercy, And with him is plenteous redemption.

Israel, hope in YHWH, for with YHWH there is loving kindness. With him is abundant redemption.

8 He will redeem Israel From all his iniquities.

He will redeem Israel from all their sins.
