Psalms 130

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

“A psalm of the steps, or the goings up.” Out of the depths do I cry to thee, O LORD!

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

O Lord! listen to my voice, Let thine ears be attentive to 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, LORD, shouldst treasure up transgressions, Lord, who could stand?

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

But with thee is forgiveness, That thou mayst 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 trust in the LORD; my soul doth trust, And in his promise do I confide.

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 who watch for the morning; Yea, more than they who watch for 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].

O Israel! trust in the LORD! For with the LORD is mercy, And with him is plenteous redemption.

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

He will redeem Israel From all his iniquities.
