Psalms 130

1 Out of the depths do I call upon 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.

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

2 Lord, hear my voice; let thine ears be attentive to the voice of my supplication.

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.

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

3 If thou, Jah, shouldest mark iniquities, Lord, who shall stand?

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

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

4 But there is forgiveness with thee, that thou mayest be feared.

4(not in this translation)

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

5 I wait for Jehovah; my soul doth wait, and in his word do I hope.

5(not in this translation)

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

6 My soul [waiteth] for the Lord more than the watchers [wait] for the morning, [more than] the watchers for the morning.

6(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.

7 Let Israel hope in Jehovah, because with Jehovah there is loving-kindness, and with him is plenteous redemption;

7(not in this translation)

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

8 And he will redeem Israel from all his iniquities.

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