Psalms 130

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

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

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

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

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

If you, JAH, kept a record of sins, Jehovah, who could stand?

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

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

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

I wait for Jehovah. My soul waits. I hope in his word.

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.

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

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

Israel, hope in Jehovah, for with Jehovah there is loving kindness. With him is abundant redemption.

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

He will redeem Israel from all their sins.
