Psalms 130

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

A SONG OF THE ASCENTS. I have called You from the depths, YHWH.

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

Lord, listen to my voice, Your ears are 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 You observe iniquities, Lord YAH, who stands?

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

But forgiveness [is] with You, that You may 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 hoped [for] YHWH—my soul has hoped, And I have waited for His word.

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 [is] for the Lord, More than those watching for morning, Watching for 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].

Israel waits on YHWH, For kindness [is] with YHWH, And redemption [is] abundant with Him.

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

And He redeems Israel from all his iniquities!
