Psalms 130

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

A song for pilgrims going up to Jerusalem. Lord, I cry out to you from the depths of my pain.

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

Please listen to my cry, and pay attention to what I'm asking.

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

Lord, if you kept a list of sins, who could escape being condemned?

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

But you are forgiving so that we might respect you.

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

I'm waiting for the Lord, longingly waiting, for I trust in his word.

6 My soul [is] for the Lord, More than those watching for morning, Watching for 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 doth wait on Jehovah, For with Jehovah [is] kindness, And abundant with Him [is] redemption.

Israel, put your hope in the Lord, for the Lord loves us with a trustworthy love and his salvation knows no limits.

8 And He doth redeem Israel from all his iniquities!

He will save Israel from every sin.
