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.

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

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

1 Out of the deep have I sent up my cry to you, 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, hear my voice: let thine ears be attentive to the voice of my supplications.

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

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

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

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

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

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

4(not in this translation)

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

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

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

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

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

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

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