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 call to you, Lord.

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

Lord, hear my voice: give heed with your ears to my loud plea.

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

If you should mark sin, Lord, O Lord, who could stand?

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

But with you is forgiveness, that you may be feared.

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

I wait for the Lord, I wait for 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.

I look for the Lord more than watchman for morning, than watchman for morning.

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

Israel, hope in the Lord: with the Lord there is love with him plenteous redemption.

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

And he redeems Israel from all his iniquities.
