Psalms 130

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

שִׁ֥יר הַֽמַּעֲלֹ֑ות מִמַּעֲמַקִּ֖ים קְרָאתִ֣יךָ יְהוָֽה׃

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

אֲדֹנָי֮ שִׁמְעָ֪ה בְקֹ֫ולִ֥י תִּהְיֶ֣ינָה אָ֭זְנֶיךָ קַשֻּׁבֹ֑ות לְ֝קֹ֗ול תַּחֲנוּנָֽי׃

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

אִם־עֲוֹנֹ֥ות תִּשְׁמָר־יָ֑הּ אֲ֝דֹנָ֗י מִ֣י יַעֲמֹֽד׃

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

כִּֽי־עִמְּךָ֥ הַסְּלִיחָ֑ה לְ֝מַ֗עַן תִּוָּרֵֽא׃

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

קִוִּ֣יתִי יְ֭הוָה קִוְּתָ֣ה נַפְשִׁ֑י וְֽלִדְבָרֹ֥ו הֹוחָֽלְתִּי׃

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

נַפְשִׁ֥י לַֽאדֹנָ֑י מִשֹּׁמְרִ֥ים לַ֝בֹּ֗קֶר שֹׁמְרִ֥ים לַבֹּֽקֶר׃

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

יַחֵ֥ל יִשְׂרָאֵ֗ל אֶל־יְה֫וָה כִּֽי־עִם־יְהוָ֥ה הַחֶ֑סֶד וְהַרְבֵּ֖ה עִמֹּ֣ו פְדֽוּת׃

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

וְ֭הוּא יִפְדֶּ֣ה אֶת־יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל מִ֝כֹּ֗ל עֲוֹנֹתָֽיו׃
