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 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.

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.

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

4(not in this translation)

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

5(not in this translation)

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

6(not in this translation)

6My soul waiteth for the Lord More than watchmen wait for the morning; Yea, more thanwatchmen for the morning.

7(not in this translation)

7O Israel, hope in Jehovah; For with Jehovah there is lovingkindness, And with him is plenteous redemption.

8(not in this translation)

8And he will redeem Israel From all his iniquities.
