< Psalms 130 >
1 A song of ascents. Out of the depths I cry to you, Yahweh.
2 Lord, hear my voice; let your ears be attentive to my pleas for mercy.
3 If you, Yahweh, would mark iniquities, Lord, who could stand?
4 But there is forgiveness with you, that you may be revered.
5 I wait for Yahweh, my soul waits, and in his word I hope.
6 My soul waits for the Lord more than watchmen wait for the morning.
7 Israel, hope in Yahweh. Yahweh is merciful, and he is very willing to forgive.
8 It is he who will redeem Israel from all his sins.
