Psalms 130

1 A Song of the Ascents. From depths I have called Thee, Jehovah.

A song of ascents. Out of the depths I cry to You, O LORD!

2 Lord, hearken to my voice, Thine ears are attentive to the voice of my supplications.

O Lord, hear my voice; let Your ears be attentive to my plea for mercy.

3 If iniquities Thou dost observe, O Lord, who doth stand?

If You, O LORD, kept track of iniquities, then who, O Lord, could stand?

4 But with Thee [is] forgiveness, that Thou mayest be feared.

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

5 I hoped [for] Jehovah — hoped hath my soul, And for His word I have waited.

I wait for the LORD; my soul does wait, and in His word I put my hope.

6 My soul [is] for the Lord, More than those watching for morning, Watching for morning!

My soul waits for the Lord more than watchmen wait for the morning— more than watchmen wait for the morning.

7 Israel doth wait on Jehovah, For with Jehovah [is] kindness, And abundant with Him [is] redemption.

O Israel, put your hope in the LORD, for with the LORD is loving devotion, and with Him is redemption in abundance.

8 And He doth redeem Israel from all his iniquities!

And He will redeem Israel from all iniquity.
