Psalms 130

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

A Song of degrees. Out of the depths have I 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 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, shouldest mark iniquities, O LORD, who shall stand?

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

But [there is] forgiveness with thee, 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 wait for the LORD, my soul doth wait, and in his word do I hope.

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: [I say], [more than] they that 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].

Let Israel hope in the LORD: for with the LORD [there 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.

And he shall redeem Israel from all his iniquities.
