< Psalms 130 >
1 A Song of Ascents. Out of the depths I have cried to you, Yahweh.
A song for pilgrims going up to Jerusalem. Lord, I cry out to you from the depths of my pain.
2 Lord, hear my voice. Let your ears be attentive to the voice of my petitions.
Please listen to my cry, and pay attention to what I'm asking.
3 If you, Yah, kept a record of sins, Lord, who could stand?
Lord, if you kept a list of sins, who could escape being condemned?
4 But there is forgiveness with you, therefore you are feared.
But you are forgiving so that we might respect you.
5 I wait for Yahweh. My soul waits. I hope in his word.
I'm waiting for the Lord, longingly waiting, for I trust in his word.
6 My soul longs for the Lord more than watchmen long for the morning, more than watchmen for the morning.
I long for the Lord to come, more than watchmen longing for the dawn to come, more than watchmen longing for the dawn to come.
7 Israel, hope in Yahweh, for there is loving kindness with Yahweh. Abundant redemption is with him.
Israel, put your hope in the Lord, for the Lord loves us with a trustworthy love and his salvation knows no limits.
8 He will redeem Israel from all their sins.
He will save Israel from every sin.
