Chapter 130

A Song of Ascents.

¹Out of the depths I have cried to you, Yahweh.

²Lord, hear my voice.

Let your ears be attentive to the voice of my petitions.

³If you, Yah, kept a record of sins,

Lord, who could stand?

⁴But there is forgiveness with you,

Therefore you are feared.

⁵I wait for Yahweh.

My soul waits.

I hope in his word.

⁶My soul longs for the Lord more than watchmen long for the morning;

More than watchmen for the morning.

⁷Israel, hope in Yahweh,

For with Yahweh there is loving kindness.

With him is abundant redemption.

⁸He will redeem Israel from all their sins.
