Psalms 130

1 [A Song of Ascents.] Out of the depths I have cried to you, LORD.

A song of ascents. Out of the depths I cry to you, Yahweh.

2 LORD, hear my voice. Let your ears be attentive to the voice of my petitions.

Lord, hear my voice; let your ears be attentive to my pleas for mercy.

3 If you, LORD, kept a record of sins, LORD, who could stand?

If you, Yahweh, would mark iniquities, Lord, who could stand?

4 But there is forgiveness with you, so that you may be revered.

But there is forgiveness with you, that you may be revered.

5 I wait for the LORD. My soul waits. I hope in his word.

I wait for Yahweh, my soul waits, and in his word I hope.

6 My soul longs for the LORD more than watchmen long for the morning; more than watchmen for the morning.

My soul waits for the Lord more than watchmen wait for the morning.

7 Israel, hope in the LORD, for with the LORD there is loving kindness. With him is abundant redemption.

Israel, hope in Yahweh. Yahweh is merciful, and he is very willing to forgive.

8 He will redeem Israel from all their sins.

It is he who will redeem Israel from all his sins.
