< Psalms 130 >
1 A Song of degrees. Out of the depths have I cried to thee, O LORD.
[A Song of Ascents.] Out of the depths I have cried to you, LORD.
2 Lord, hear my voice: let thy ears be attentive to the voice of my supplications.
LORD, hear my voice. Let your ears be attentive to the voice of my petitions.
3 If thou, LORD, shouldest mark iniquities, O Lord, who shall stand?
If you, LORD, kept a record of sins, LORD, who could stand?
4 But there is forgiveness with thee, that thou mayest be feared.
But there is forgiveness with you, so that you may be revered.
5 I wait for the LORD, my soul doth wait, and in his word do I hope.
I wait for the LORD. My soul waits. I hope in his word.
6 My soul waiteth for the Lord more than they that watch for the morning: I say, more than they that watch for the morning.
My soul longs for the LORD more than watchmen long for the morning; more than watchmen for the morning.
7 Let Israel hope in the LORD: for with the LORD there is mercy, and with him is plenteous redemption.
Israel, hope in the LORD, for with the LORD there is loving kindness. With him is abundant redemption.
8 And he shall redeem Israel from all his iniquities.
He will redeem Israel from all their sins.
