Psalms 130

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

[A Song of Ascents.] Out of the depths I have cried to you, YHWH.

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

YHWH, hear my voice. Let your ears be attentive to the voice of my petitions.

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

If you, JAH, kept a record of sins, YHWH, who could stand?

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

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

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

I wait for YHWH. My soul waits. I hope in his word.

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

My soul longs for YHWH more than watchmen long for the morning; more than watchmen for the morning.

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

Israel, hope in YHWH, for with YHWH there is loving kindness. With him is abundant redemption.

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

He will redeem Israel from all their sins.
