Psalm 130

English Standard Version

My Soul Waits for the Lord

A Song of ^(A)Ascents.

130 Out of ^(B)the depths I cry to you, O Lord!
² O Lord, hear my voice!
^(C)Let your ears be attentive
to ^(D)the voice of my pleas for mercy!

³If you, O Lord, should ^(E)mark iniquities,
O Lord, who could ^(F)stand?
⁴But with you there is ^(G)forgiveness,
^(H)that you may be feared.

⁵I ^(I)wait for the Lord, ^(J)my soul waits,
    and ^(K)in his word I hope;
⁶my soul ^(L)waits for the Lord
    more than ^(M)watchmen for ^(N)the morning,
    more than watchmen for the morning.

⁷O Israel, ^(O)hope in the Lord!
    For ^(P)with the Lord there is steadfast love,
    and with him is plentiful redemption.
⁸And he will ^(Q)redeem Israel
    from all his iniquities.
