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.

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, 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, Jehovah, shouldest mark iniquities, O Lord, who could 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 there is forgiveness with you, so that you may be feared.

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

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