Psalms 130

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

“A psalm of the steps, or the goings up.” Out of the depths do I cry to thee, O LORD!

2 Lord, hear my voice. Let your ears be attentive to the voice of my petitions.

O Lord! listen to my voice, Let thine ears be attentive to my supplication!

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

If thou, LORD, shouldst treasure up transgressions, Lord, who could stand?

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

But with thee is forgiveness, That thou mayst be feared.

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

I trust in the LORD; my soul doth trust, And in his promise do I confide.

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 who watch for the morning; Yea, more than they who watch for the morning!

7 Israel, hope in the LORD, for there is loving kindness with the LORD. Abundant redemption is with him.

O Israel! trust in the LORD! For with the LORD is mercy, And with him is plenteous redemption.

8 He will redeem Israel from all their sins.

He will redeem Israel From all his iniquities.
