Psalms 130

1 Yahweh, I have a lot of troubles/many difficulties, so I call out to you.

Out of the depths I have cried to thee, O Lord:

2 Yahweh, hear me, while I call out to you [SYN] to be merciful to me!

Lord, hear my voice. Let thy ears be attentive to the voice of my supplication.

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]

If thou, O Lord, wilt mark iniquities: Lord, who shall stand it.

4 But you forgive us, with the result that we greatly revere you.

For with thee there is merciful forgiveness: and by reason of thy law, I have waited for thee, O Lord. My soul hath relied on his word:

5 Yahweh has said [that he would help/rescue me]; I trust what he said, and I wait eagerly for him to do that.

My soul hath hoped in the Lord.

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!

From the morning watch even until night, let Israel hope in the Lord.

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].

Because with the Lord there is mercy: and with him plentiful redemption.

8 And he will save us Israeli [people] from [being punished for] all the sins that [we] have committed.

And he shall redeem Israel from all his iniquities.
