Psalms 130

1 A Song of degrees. Out of the depths have I cried to thee, O LORD.

A Song of the going up. Out of the deep have I sent up my cry to you, O Lord.

2 LORD, hear my voice: let thy ears be attentive to the voice of my supplications.

Lord, let my voice come before you: let your ears be awake to the voice of my prayer.

3 If thou, LORD, shouldest mark iniquities, O LORD, who shall stand?

O Jah, if you took note of every sin, who would go free?

4 But [there is] forgiveness with thee, that thou mayest be feared.

But there is forgiveness with you, so that you may be feared.

5 I wait for the LORD, my soul doth wait, and in his word do I hope.

I am waiting for the Lord, my soul is waiting for him, and my hope is 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 is watching for the Lord more than those who are watching for the morning; yes, more than the watchers 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, have hope in the Lord; for with the Lord is mercy and full salvation.

8 And he shall redeem Israel from all his iniquities.

And he will make Israel free from all his sins.
