Psalms 130

1 A Canticle in steps. From the depths, I have cried out to you, O Lord.

“A psalm of the steps, or the goings up.” Out of the depths do I cry to thee, O LORD!

2 O Lord, hear my voice. Let your ears be attentive to the voice of my supplication.

O Lord! listen to my voice, Let thine ears be attentive to my supplication!

3 If you, O Lord, were to heed iniquities, who, O Lord, could persevere?

If thou, LORD, shouldst treasure up transgressions, Lord, who could stand?

4 For with you, there is forgiveness, and because of your law, I persevered with you, Lord. My soul has persevered in his word.

But with thee is forgiveness, That thou mayst be feared.

5 My soul has hoped in the Lord.

I trust in the LORD; my soul doth trust, And in his promise do I confide.

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

My soul waiteth for the LORD More than they who watch for the morning; Yea, more than they who watch for the morning!

7 For with the Lord there is mercy, and with him there is bountiful redemption.

O Israel! trust in the LORD! For with the LORD is mercy, And with him is plenteous redemption.

8 And he will redeem Israel from all his iniquities.

He will redeem Israel From all his iniquities.
