< Psalms 130 >
1 A Song of Ascents. Out of the depths have I cried unto thee, O LORD.
A song of ascents. Out of the depths I cry to You, O LORD!
2 Lord, hear my voice: let thine ears be attentive to the voice of my supplications.
O Lord, hear my voice; let Your ears be attentive to my plea for mercy.
3 If thou, LORD, shouldest mark iniquities, O Lord, who shall stand?
If You, O LORD, kept track of iniquities, then who, O Lord, could stand?
4 But there is forgiveness with thee, that thou mayest be feared.
But with You there is forgiveness, so that You may be feared.
5 I wait for the LORD, my soul doth wait, and in his word do I hope.
I wait for the LORD; my soul does wait, and in His word I put my hope.
6 My soul [looketh] for the Lord, more than watchmen [look] for the morning; [yea, more than] watchmen for the morning.
My soul waits for the Lord more than watchmen wait for the morning— more than watchmen wait for the morning.
7 O Israel, hope in the LORD; for with the LORD there is mercy, and with him is plenteous redemption.
O Israel, put your hope in the LORD, for with the LORD is loving devotion, and with Him is redemption in abundance.
8 And he shall redeem Israel from all his iniquities.
And He will redeem Israel from all iniquity.
