Psalm 130

Christian Standard Bible

Psalm 130

Awaiting Redemption

A song of ascents.

¹Out of the depths I call to you, Lord!^(A)
²Lord, listen to my voice;
let your ears be attentive
to my cry for help.^(B)

³Lord, if you kept an account of iniquities,
Lord, who could stand?^(C)
⁴But with you there is forgiveness,
so that you may be revered.^(D)

⁵I wait for the Lord; I wait
and put my hope in his word.^(E)
⁶I wait for the Lord
more than watchmen for the morning—
more than watchmen for the morning.^(F)

⁷Israel, put your hope in the Lord.^(G)
For there is faithful love with the Lord,
and with him is redemption in abundance.^(H)
⁸And he will redeem Israel
from all its iniquities.^(I)

A Song of Ascents

A Prayer for Mercy

130 I cry to you from the depths, Lord,
²Lord, listen to my voice;
let your ears pay attention
    to what I ask of you!^[a]
³Lord,^[b] if you were to record iniquities,
    Lord, who could remain standing?
⁴But with you there is forgiveness,
    so that you may be feared.

⁵I wait for the Lord;
    my soul waits,
        and I will hope in his word.
⁶My soul looks to the Lord
    more than watchmen look for the morning—
        more, indeed, than^[c] watchmen for the morning.

⁷Israel, hope in the Lord!
    For with the Lord there is gracious love,
        along with abundant redemption.
⁸And he will redeem Israel
    from all its sins.
