< Psalms 130 >
1 A Song of Ascents. Out of the depths, have I cried unto thee, O Yahweh.
A song for pilgrims going up to Jerusalem. Lord, I cry out to you from the depths of my pain.
2 O My Lord! hearken thou unto my voice, —Let thine ears be attentive to the voice of my supplications,
Please listen to my cry, and pay attention to what I'm asking.
3 If, iniquities, thou shouldest mark, O Yah, O My Lord, who could stand?
Lord, if you kept a list of sins, who could escape being condemned?
4 But, with thee, is forgiveness, that thou mayest be revered.
But you are forgiving so that we might respect you.
5 I have waited for Yahweh, My soul hath waited for his word;
I'm waiting for the Lord, longingly waiting, for I trust in his word.
6 I have hoped, O my soul, for My Lord, more than they who watch for the morning, who watch for the morning.
I long for the Lord to come, more than watchmen longing for the dawn to come, more than watchmen longing for the dawn to come.
7 Wait, O Israel, for Yahweh, —for, with Yahweh, is lovingkindness, and there aboundeth with him—redemption.
Israel, put your hope in the Lord, for the Lord loves us with a trustworthy love and his salvation knows no limits.
8 He, therefore, will redeem Israel from all his iniquities.
He will save Israel from every sin.
