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.

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

1 Out of the depths do I call upon 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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

5(not in this translation)

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

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

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

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

7(not in this translation)

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

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

8(not in this translation)

8And He doth redeem Israel from all his iniquities!

8 And he will redeem Israel from all his iniquities.
