< 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 have I cried unto thee, O LORD.
2 O Lord! listen to my voice, Let thine ears be attentive to my supplication!
Lord, hear my voice: let thine ears be attentive to the voice of my supplications.
3 If thou, LORD, shouldst treasure up transgressions, Lord, who could stand?
If thou, LORD, shouldest mark iniquities, O Lord, who shall stand?
4 But with thee is forgiveness, That thou mayst be feared.
But there is forgiveness with thee, that thou mayest be feared.
5 I trust in the LORD; my soul doth trust, And in his promise do I confide.
I wait for the LORD, my soul doth wait, and in his word do I hope.
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 [looketh] for the Lord, more than watchmen [look] for the morning; [yea, 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.
O Israel, hope in the LORD; for with the LORD there is mercy, and with him is plenteous redemption.
8 He will redeem Israel From all his iniquities.
And he shall redeem Israel from all his iniquities.
