Psalmorum 130

1 Canticum graduum. De profundis clamavi ad te Domine:

Yahweh, I have a lot of troubles/many difficulties, so I call out to you.

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

Yahweh, hear me, while I call out to you [SYN] to be merciful to me!

3 Si iniquitates observaveris Domine: Domine quis sustinebit?

Yahweh, if you kept a record of the sins [that we have committed], not one [of us] [RHQ] would escape from being condemned [and punished]

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

But you forgive us, with the result that we greatly revere you.

5 speravit anima mea in Domino.

Yahweh has said [that he would help/rescue me]; I trust what he said, and I wait eagerly for him to do that.

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

I wait for Yahweh [to help me] more than watchmen wait for the light to dawn; yes, I wait more eagerly than they do!

7 Quia apud Dominum misericordia: et copiosa apud eum redemptio.

You [my fellow] Israelis, confidently expect that Yahweh [will bless us]. [He will bless us] because he faithfully loves [us], and he is very willing to save/rescue [us].

8 Et ipse redimet Israel, ex omnibus iniquitatibus eius.

And he will save us Israeli [people] from [being punished for] all the sins that [we] have committed.
