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 depths do I call upon thee, Jehovah.

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

5(not in this translation)

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

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

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

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

7(not in this translation)

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

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

8(not in this translation)

8 And he will redeem Israel from all his iniquities.

8And He doth redeem Israel from all his iniquities!
