< Psalms 130 >
1 A Song of the Ascents. From depths I have called Thee, Jehovah.
[A Song of Ascents.] Out of the depths I have cried to you, LORD.
2 Lord, hearken to my voice, Thine ears are attentive to the voice of my supplications.
LORD, hear my voice. Let your ears be attentive to the voice of my petitions.
3 If iniquities Thou dost observe, O Lord, who doth stand?
If you, LORD, kept a record of sins, LORD, who could stand?
4 But with Thee [is] forgiveness, that Thou mayest be feared.
But there is forgiveness with you, so that you may be revered.
5 I hoped [for] Jehovah — hoped hath my soul, And for His word I have waited.
I wait for the LORD. My soul waits. I hope in his word.
6 My soul [is] for the Lord, More than those watching for morning, Watching for morning!
My soul longs for the LORD more than watchmen long for the morning; more than watchmen for the morning.
7 Israel doth wait on Jehovah, For with Jehovah [is] kindness, And abundant with Him [is] redemption.
Israel, hope in the LORD, for with the LORD there is loving kindness. With him is abundant redemption.
8 And He doth redeem Israel from all his iniquities!
He will redeem Israel from all their sins.
