Psalm 130

Awaiting Redemption

A song of ascents.

Out of the depths I call to you, Lord!(A)
Lord, listen to my voice;
let your ears be attentive
to my cry for help.(B)

Lord, if you kept an account of iniquities,
Lord, who could stand?(C)
But with you there is forgiveness,
so that you may be revered.(D)

I wait for the Lord; I wait
and put my hope in his word.(E)
I wait for the Lord
more than watchmen for the morning—
more than watchmen for the morning.(F)

Israel, put your hope in the Lord.(G)
For there is faithful love with the Lord,
and with him is redemption in abundance.(H)
And he will redeem Israel
from all its iniquities.(I)

Psalm 130

Waiting for Divine Redemption

A Song of Ascents.

Out of the depths I cry to you, O Lord.(A)
    Lord, hear my voice!
Let your ears be attentive
    to the voice of my supplications!(B)

If you, O Lord, should mark iniquities,
    Lord, who could stand?(C)
But there is forgiveness with you,
    so that you may be revered.(D)

I wait for the Lord; my soul waits,
    and in his word I hope;(E)
my soul waits for the Lord
    more than those who watch for the morning,
    more than those who watch for the morning.(F)

O Israel, hope in the Lord!
    For with the Lord there is steadfast love,
    and with him is great power to redeem.(G)
It is he who will redeem Israel
    from all its iniquities.(H)
