Psalm 130–131

Hope for the Redemption of Yahweh

130A song of ascents.^a

¹Out of the depths I call to you, O Yahweh.

²“O Lord, hear my voice.

Let your ears be attentive

to the voice of my supplications.

³If you, O Yah,^b should keep track of^c iniquities,

O Lord, who could stand?

⁴But with you is forgiveness,

so that you may be feared.”

⁵I await Yahweh; my soul awaits,

and I wait^d for his word.

⁶My soul waits for the Lord

more than watchmen for the morning.

Yes, more than watchmen for the morning.

⁷O Israel, wait^e for Yahweh.

For with Yahweh there is loyal love,

and with him there is abundant redemption.

⁸And he will redeem Israel

from all its iniquities.

Calm Trust in Yahweh

131A song of ascents. Of David.^a

¹O Yahweh, my heart is not haughty nor my eyes arrogant.^b

And I do not concern myself^c

with things too great and difficult for me.

²Rather I have soothed and quieted my soul,

like a weaned child with its mother,

like the weaned child is my soul with me.

³O Israel, hope in Yahweh

from now until forever.
