Psalms 130

1 Out of the deep have I sent up my cry to you, O Lord.

1A Song of the Ascents. From depths I have called Thee, Jehovah.

1A gradual canticle of David. Lord, my heart is not exalted: nor are my eyes lofty. Neither have I walked in great matters, nor in wonderful things above me.

2Lord, let my voice come before you: let your ears be awake to the voice of my prayer.

2Lord, hearken to my voice, Thine ears are attentive to the voice of my supplications.

2If I was not humbly minded, but exalted my soul: As a child that is weaned is towards his mother, so reward in my soul.

3O Jah, if you took note of every sin, who would go free?

3If iniquities Thou dost observe, O Lord, who doth stand?

3Let Israel hope in the Lord, from henceforth now and for ever.

4But there is forgiveness with you, so that you may be feared.

4But with Thee <FI>is<Fi> forgiveness, that Thou mayest be feared.

5I am waiting for the Lord, my soul is waiting for him, and my hope is in his word.

5I hoped <FI>for<Fi> Jehovah--hoped hath my soul, And for His word I have waited.

5(not in this translation)

6My soul is watching for the Lord more than those who are watching for the morning; yes, more than the watchers for the morning.

6My soul <FI>is<Fi> for the Lord, More than those watching for morning, Watching for morning!

7O Israel, have hope in the Lord; for with the Lord is mercy and full salvation.

7Israel doth wait on Jehovah, For with Jehovah <FI>is<Fi> kindness, And abundant with Him <FI>is<Fi> redemption.

8And he will make Israel free from all his sins.

8And He doth redeem Israel from all his iniquities!
