Psalmorum 130

1 Canticum graduum. De profundis clamavi ad te Domine:

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

2 Domine exaudi vocem meam: Fiant aures tuae intendentes, in vocem deprecationis meae.

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

3 Si iniquitates observaveris Domine: Domine quis sustinebit?

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

4 Quia apud te propitiatio est: et propter legem tuam sustinui te Domine. Sustinuit anima mea in verbo eius:

But you are forgiving so that we might respect you.

5 speravit anima mea in Domino.

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

6 A custodia matutina usque ad noctem: speret Israel in Domino.

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 Quia apud Dominum misericordia: et copiosa apud eum redemptio.

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

8 Et ipse redimet Israel, ex omnibus iniquitatibus eius.

He will save Israel from every sin.
