< 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 cry to You, O LORD!
2 LORD, hear my voice: let thy ears be attentive to the voice of my supplications.
O Lord, hear my voice; let Your ears be attentive to my plea for mercy.
3 If thou, LORD, shouldest mark iniquities, O LORD, who shall stand?
If You, O LORD, kept track of iniquities, then who, O Lord, could stand?
4 But [there is] forgiveness with thee, that thou mayest be feared.
But with You there is forgiveness, so that You may be feared.
5 I wait for the LORD, my soul doth wait, and in his word do I hope.
I wait for the LORD; my soul does wait, and in His word I put my hope.
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 waits for the Lord more than watchmen wait for the morning— more than watchmen wait for the morning.
7 Let Israel hope in the LORD: for with the LORD [there is] mercy, and with him [is] plenteous redemption.
O Israel, put your hope in the LORD, for with the LORD is loving devotion, and with Him is redemption in abundance.
8 And he shall redeem Israel from all his iniquities.
And He will redeem Israel from all iniquity.
