Psalms 130

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

“A song of the degrees.” Out of the depths have I called thee, O Lord.

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

Lord, listen to my voice: let thy ears be attentive to the voice of my supplications.

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, Lord, shouldst treasure up iniquities, O Lord, who would be able to stand?

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

But with thee there is forgiveness, in order that thou mayest be feared.

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

I hope for the Lord, my soul doth hope, and for his word do I wait.

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!

My soul [waiteth] for the Lord, more than they that watch for the morning expect the morning.

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].

Let Israel wait for the Lord; for with the Lord there is kindness, and with him is redemption in abundance;

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

And he wilt surely redeem Israel from all his iniquities.
