Psalms 130

1 A song of ascents. Out of the depths I call to you, Lord.

Out of the depths I have cried to you, Adonai.

2 Lord, hear my voice: give heed with your ears to my loud plea.

Lord, sh'ma ·hear obey· my voice. Let your ears be attentive to the voice of my petitions.

3 If you should mark sin, Lord, O Lord, who could stand?

If you, Yah, kept a record of depravities (moral evils), Lord, who could stand?

4 But with you is forgiveness, that you may be feared.

But there is forgiveness with you, therefore you are feared.

5 I wait for the Lord, I wait for his word,

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

6 I look for the Lord more than watchman for morning, than watchman for morning.

My soul longs for 'Adonay [Lord] more than watchmen long for the morning; more than watchmen for the morning.

7 Israel, hope in the Lord: with the Lord there is love with him plenteous redemption.

Israel [God prevails], hope in Adonai, for with Adonai there is chesed ·loving-kindness·. With him is abundant redemption.

8 And he redeems Israel from all his iniquities.

He will redeem Israel [God prevails] from all their depravities (moral evils).
