Psalms 130

1 A Song of Ascents. Out of the depths, have I cried unto thee, O Yahweh.

שִׁ֥יר הַֽמַּעֲלֹ֑ות מִמַּעֲמַקִּ֖ים קְרָאתִ֣יךָ יְהוָֽה׃

2 O My Lord! hearken thou unto my voice, —Let thine ears be attentive to the voice of my supplications,

אֲדֹנָי֮ שִׁמְעָ֪ה בְקֹ֫ולִ֥י תִּהְיֶ֣ינָה אָ֭זְנֶיךָ קַשֻּׁבֹ֑ות לְ֝קֹ֗ול תַּחֲנוּנָֽי׃

3 If, iniquities, thou shouldest mark, O Yah, O My Lord, who could stand?

אִם־עֲוֹנֹ֥ות תִּשְׁמָר־יָ֑הּ אֲ֝דֹנָ֗י מִ֣י יַעֲמֹֽד׃

4 But, with thee, is forgiveness, that thou mayest be revered.

כִּֽי־עִמְּךָ֥ הַסְּלִיחָ֑ה לְ֝מַ֗עַן תִּוָּרֵֽא׃

5 I have waited for Yahweh, My soul hath waited for his word;

קִוִּ֣יתִי יְ֭הוָה קִוְּתָ֣ה נַפְשִׁ֑י וְֽלִדְבָרֹ֥ו הֹוחָֽלְתִּי׃

6 I have hoped, O my soul, for My Lord, more than they who watch for the morning, who watch for the morning.

נַפְשִׁ֥י לַֽאדֹנָ֑י מִשֹּׁמְרִ֥ים לַ֝בֹּ֗קֶר שֹׁמְרִ֥ים לַבֹּֽקֶר׃

7 Wait, O Israel, for Yahweh, —for, with Yahweh, is lovingkindness, and there aboundeth with him—redemption.

יַחֵ֥ל יִשְׂרָאֵ֗ל אֶל־יְה֫וָה כִּֽי־עִם־יְהוָ֥ה הַחֶ֑סֶד וְהַרְבֵּ֖ה עִמֹּ֣ו פְדֽוּת׃

8 He, therefore, will redeem Israel from all his iniquities.

וְ֭הוּא יִפְדֶּ֣ה אֶת־יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל מִ֝כֹּ֗ל עֲוֹנֹתָֽיו׃
