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