< Psalms 130 >
1 A song of ascents. Out of the depths I cry to you, Yahweh.
A Song of the Ascents. From depths I have called Thee, Jehovah.
2 Lord, hear my voice; let your ears be attentive to my pleas for mercy.
Lord, hearken to my voice, Thine ears are attentive to the voice of my supplications.
3 If you, Yahweh, would mark iniquities, Lord, who could stand?
If iniquities Thou dost observe, O Lord, who doth stand?
4 But there is forgiveness with you, that you may be revered.
But with Thee [is] forgiveness, that Thou mayest be feared.
5 I wait for Yahweh, my soul waits, and in his word I hope.
I hoped [for] Jehovah — hoped hath my soul, And for His word I have waited.
6 My soul waits for the Lord more than watchmen wait for the morning.
My soul [is] for the Lord, More than those watching for morning, Watching for morning!
7 Israel, hope in Yahweh. Yahweh is merciful, and he is very willing to forgive.
Israel doth wait on Jehovah, For with Jehovah [is] kindness, And abundant with Him [is] redemption.
8 It is he who will redeem Israel from all his sins.
And He doth redeem Israel from all his iniquities!
