Psalm 130

A Song of Ascents.

From the depths I call on You, O Lord!
    O Lord, hear my voice;
let Your ears be attentive
    to the sound of my supplications.

If you, O Lord, should keep track of iniquities,
    O Lord, who shall stand?
For there is forgiveness with You,
    that You may be feared.

I wait for the Lord, with bated breath I wait;
    I long for His Word!
My soul waits for the Lord,
    more than watchmen for the morning,
    more than watchmen for the morning.

Let Israel wait for the Lord!
    For mercy is found with the Lord;
    with Him is great redemption.
He shall redeem Israel
    from all their iniquities.

Hope in the Lord’s forgiving love.

A Song of Ascents.

130 Out of the depths have I cried unto thee, O Jehovah.
Lord, hear my voice:
Let thine ears be attentive
To the voice of my supplications.
If thou, [a]Jehovah, shouldest mark iniquities,
O Lord, who could stand?
But there is forgiveness with thee,
That thou mayest be feared.
I wait for Jehovah, my soul doth wait,
And in his word do I hope.
My soul waiteth for the Lord
More than watchmen wait for the morning;
Yea, more than watchmen for the morning.
O Israel, hope in Jehovah;
For with Jehovah there is lovingkindness,
And with him is plenteous redemption.
And he will redeem Israel
From all his iniquities.
