Psalms 130

1 A song of ascents. Out of the depths I cry to you, Yahweh.

Out of the depths I have cried to thee, O Jehovah.

2 Lord, hear my voice; let your ears be attentive to my pleas for mercy.

Lord, hear my voice. Let thine ears be attentive to the voice of my supplications.

3 If you, Yahweh, would mark iniquities, Lord, who could stand?

If thou, Jehovah, should note iniquities, O Lord, who could stand?

4 But there is forgiveness with you, that you may be revered.

But there is forgiveness with thee, that thou may be feared.

5 I wait for Yahweh, my soul waits, and in his word I hope.

I wait for Jehovah. My soul waits, and in his word do I hope,

6 My soul waits for the Lord more than watchmen wait for the morning.

my soul for the Lord more than watchmen for the morning, watchmen for the morning.

7 Israel, hope in Yahweh. Yahweh is merciful, and he is very willing to forgive.

O Israel, hope in Jehovah, for with Jehovah there is loving kindness, and with him is plentiful redemption.

8 It is he who will redeem Israel from all his sins.

And he will redeem Israel from all his iniquities.
