Psalm 130

1 Out of the depths have I cried unto thee, O Jehovah.

2 Lord, hear my voice: Let thine ears be attentive To the voice of my supplications.

3 If thou, Jehovah, shouldest mark iniquities, O Lord, who could stand?

4 But there is forgiveness with thee, That thou mayest be feared.

5 I wait for Jehovah, my soul doth wait, And in his word do I hope.

6 My soul waiteth for the Lord More than watchmen wait for the morning; Yea, more than watchmen for the morning.

7 O Israel, hope in Jehovah; For with Jehovah there is lovingkindness, And with him is plenteous redemption.

8 And he will redeem Israel From all his iniquities.

Psalm 130

A song of ascents.

1 From the deep water I cry out to you, O Lord.

2 O Lord, listen to me!
Pay attention to my plea for mercy!

3 If you, O Lord, were to keep track of sins,
O Lord, who could stand before you?

4 But you are willing to forgive,
so that you might be honored.

5 I rely on the Lord,
I rely on him with my whole being;
I wait for his assuring word.

6 I yearn for the Lord,
more than watchmen do for the morning,
yes, more than watchmen do for the morning.

7 O Israel, hope in the Lord,
for the Lord exhibits loyal love,
and is more than willing to deliver.

8 He will deliver Israel
from all the consequences of their sins.
