< Psalms 130 >
1 A song of ascents. Out of the depths I cry to you, Yahweh.
A Song of Ascents. Out of the depths have I cried unto thee, O LORD.
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, LORD, shouldest mark iniquities, O Lord, who shall stand?
4 But there is forgiveness with you, that you may be revered.
But there is forgiveness with thee, that thou mayest be feared.
5 I wait for Yahweh, my soul waits, and in his word I hope.
I wait for the LORD, my soul doth wait, and in his word do I hope.
6 My soul waits for the Lord more than watchmen wait for the morning.
My soul [looketh] for the Lord, more than watchmen [look] for the morning; [yea, more than] watchmen for the morning.
7 Israel, hope in Yahweh. Yahweh is merciful, and he is very willing to forgive.
O Israel, hope in the LORD; for with the LORD there is mercy, and with him is plenteous redemption.
8 It is he who will redeem Israel from all his sins.
And he shall redeem Israel from all his iniquities.
