Psalms 130

1 A Song of Ascents. Out of the depths I have cried to you, Yahweh.

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 your ears be attentive to the voice of my petitions.

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

3 If you, Yah, kept a record of sins, Lord, who could stand?

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

4 But there is forgiveness with you, therefore you are feared.

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

5 I wait for Yahweh. My soul waits. I hope in his word.

I am waiting for the Lord, my soul is waiting for him, and my hope is in his word.

6 My soul longs for the Lord more than watchmen long for the morning, more than watchmen 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 Israel, hope in Yahweh, for there is loving kindness with Yahweh. Abundant redemption is with him.

O Israel, have hope in the Lord; for with the Lord is mercy and full salvation.

8 He will redeem Israel from all their sins.

And he will make Israel free from all his sins.
