Psalms 130

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

1 Out of the depths do I call upon thee, Jehovah.

1 Out of the deep have I sent up my cry to you, O Lord.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

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

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;

7O Israel, have hope in the Lord; for with the Lord is mercy and full salvation.

8And He doth redeem Israel from all his iniquities!

8 And he will redeem Israel from all his iniquities.

8And he will make Israel free from all his sins.
