< Psalms 130 >
1 A Song of the Ascents. From depths I have called Thee, Jehovah.
A Song of Degrees. Out of the depths have I cried to thee, O Lord.
2 Lord, hearken to my voice, Thine ears are attentive to the voice of my supplications.
O Lord, hearken to my voice; let thine ears be attentive to the voice of my supplication.
3 If iniquities Thou dost observe, O Lord, who doth stand?
If thou, O Lord, shouldest mark iniquities, O Lord, who shall stand?
4 But with Thee [is] forgiveness, that Thou mayest be feared.
For with thee is forgiveness: for thy name's sake
5 I hoped [for] Jehovah — hoped hath my soul, And for His word I have waited.
have I waited for thee, O Lord, my soul has waited for thy word.
6 My soul [is] for the Lord, More than those watching for morning, Watching for morning!
My soul has hoped in the Lord; from the morning watch till night.
7 Israel doth wait on Jehovah, For with Jehovah [is] kindness, And abundant with Him [is] redemption.
Let Israel hope in the Lord: for with the Lord is mercy, and with him is plenteous redemption.
8 And He doth redeem Israel from all his iniquities!
And he shall redeem Israel from all his iniquities.
