Psalms 130

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.

1Out of the depths have I cried unto thee, O Lord.

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.

2Lord, hear my voice: let thine ears be attentive to the voice of my supplications.

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?

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

4(not in this translation)

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

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

5(not in this translation)

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

5I wait for the Lord, my soul doth wait, and in his word do I hope.

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.

6My soul waiteth for the Lord more than they that watch for the morning: I say, more than they that watch for the morning.

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

8And he shall redeem Israel from all his iniquities.
