< Psalms 130 >

1 A Song of Ascents. Out of the depths, have I cried unto thee, O Yahweh.
A song of ascents. Out of the depths I cry to you, Yahweh.
2 O My Lord! hearken thou unto my voice, —Let thine ears be attentive to the voice of my supplications,
Lord, hear my voice; let your ears be attentive to my pleas for mercy.
3 If, iniquities, thou shouldest mark, O Yah, O My Lord, who could stand?
If you, Yahweh, would mark iniquities, Lord, who could stand?
4 But, with thee, is forgiveness, that thou mayest be revered.
But there is forgiveness with you, that you may be revered.
5 I have waited for Yahweh, My soul hath waited for his word;
I wait for Yahweh, my soul waits, and in his word I hope.
6 I have hoped, O my soul, for My Lord, more than they who watch for the morning, who watch for the morning.
My soul waits for the Lord more than watchmen wait for the morning.
7 Wait, O Israel, for Yahweh, —for, with Yahweh, is lovingkindness, and there aboundeth with him—redemption.
Israel, hope in Yahweh. Yahweh is merciful, and he is very willing to forgive.
8 He, therefore, will redeem Israel from all his iniquities.
It is he who will redeem Israel from all his sins.
