Psalms 130

1 A Song of the going up. Out of the deep have I sent up my cry to you, O Lord.

Out of the depths I have cried to thee, O Lord:

2 Lord, let my voice come before you: let your ears be awake to the voice of my prayer.

Lord, hear my voice. Let thy ears be attentive to the voice of my supplication.

3 O Jah, if you took note of every sin, who would go free?

If thou, O Lord, wilt mark iniquities: Lord, who shall stand it.

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

For with thee there is merciful forgiveness: and by reason of thy law, I have waited for thee, O Lord. My soul hath relied on his word:

5 I am waiting for the Lord, my soul is waiting for him, and my hope is in his word.

My soul hath hoped in the Lord.

6 My soul is watching for the Lord more than those who are watching for the morning; yes, more than the watchers for the morning.

From the morning watch even until night, let Israel hope in the Lord.

7 O Israel, have hope in the Lord; for with the Lord is mercy and full salvation.

Because with the Lord there is mercy: and with him plentiful redemption.

8 And he will make Israel free from all his sins.

And he shall redeem Israel from all his iniquities.
