< Psalms 130 >

1 Yahweh, I have a lot of troubles/many difficulties, so I call out to you.
Een bedevaartslied. Uit de diepten, o Jahweh, roep ik tot U,
2 Yahweh, hear me, while I call out to you [SYN] to be merciful to me!
Heer, hoor mijn klagen; Laat uw oren toch luisteren Naar mijn bidden en smeken!
3 Yahweh, if you kept a record of the sins [that we have committed], not one [of us] [RHQ] would escape from being condemned [and punished]
Ach Jahweh, zo Gij de zonde gedenkt, Ach Heer, wie zou het bestaan?
4 But you forgive us, with the result that we greatly revere you.
Neen, bij U is vergeving, Opdat ik vol hoop U zou vrezen, o Jahweh.
5 Yahweh has said [that he would help/rescue me]; I trust what he said, and I wait eagerly for him to do that.
Mijn ziel schouwt hunkerend naar zijn belofte, Mijn ziel smacht naar den Heer;
6 I wait for Yahweh [to help me] more than watchmen wait for the light to dawn; yes, I wait more eagerly than they do!
Meer dan wachters naar de morgen,
7 You [my fellow] Israelis, confidently expect that Yahweh [will bless us]. [He will bless us] because he faithfully loves [us], and he is very willing to save/rescue [us].
Ziet Israël naar Jahweh uit. Want bij Jahweh is ontferming, En overvloed van verlossing;
8 And he will save us Israeli [people] from [being punished for] all the sins that [we] have committed.
Hij zal Israël bevrijden Van al zijn zonden!
