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 you, Adonai.

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

Lord, sh'ma ·hear obey· my voice. Let your ears be attentive to the voice of my petitions.

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, Yah, kept a record of depravities (moral evils), Lord, who could stand?

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

But there is forgiveness with you, therefore you are 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 wait for Adonai. My soul waits. I hope in 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 longs for 'Adonay [Lord] more than watchmen long for the morning; more than watchmen 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].

Israel [God prevails], hope in Adonai, for with Adonai there is chesed ·loving-kindness·. With him is abundant redemption.

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

He will redeem Israel [God prevails] from all their depravities (moral evils).
