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