Psalms 130

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

שיר המעלות ממעמקים קראתיך יהוה

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

אדני שמעה בקולי תהיינה אזניך קשבות-- לקול תחנוני

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]

אם-עונות תשמר-יה-- אדני מי יעמד

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

כי-עמך הסליחה-- למען תורא

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

קויתי יהוה קותה נפשי ולדברו הוחלתי

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!

נפשי לאדני-- משמרים לבקר שמרים לבקר

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].

יחל ישראל אל-יהוה כי-עם-יהוה החסד והרבה עמו פדות

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

והוא יפדה את-ישראל-- מכל עונתיו
