< Psalms 130 >
1 A Song of the Ascents. From depths I have called Thee, Jehovah.
OUT of the depths have I cried unto thee, O Lord.
2 Lord, hearken to my voice, Thine ears are attentive to the voice of my supplications.
Lord, hear my voice: let thine ears be attentive to the voice of my supplications.
3 If iniquities Thou dost observe, O Lord, who doth stand?
If thou, Lord, shouldest mark iniquities, O Lord, who shall stand?
4 But with Thee [is] forgiveness, that Thou mayest be feared.
But there is forgiveness with thee, that thou mayest 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 doth wait, and in his word do I hope.
6 My soul [is] for the Lord, More than those watching for morning, Watching for morning!
My soul waiteth for the Lord more than they that watch for the morning: I say, more than they that watch for the morning.
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 there 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.
