Psalm 130–131

PSALM 130

Yahweh Will Redeem Israel

A Song of Ascents.

¹Out of the ^adepths I called to You, O Yahweh.

²O Lord, ^ahear my voice!

Let ^bYour ears be attentive

To the ^cvoice of my supplications.

³If You should keep iniquities, O Yah,

O Lord, who could ^astand?

⁴But with You there is ^aforgiveness,

That You may be ^bfeared.

⁵I hope for Yahweh, my ^asoul does hope,

And ^bfor His word do I wait.

⁶My soul waits for the Lord

More than the watchmen ^afor the morning,

The watchmen for the morning.

⁷O Israel, ^await for Yahweh;

For with Yahweh there is ^blovingkindness,

And with Him is ^cabundant redemption.

⁸And it is He who will ^aredeem Israel

From all his iniquities.

PSALM 131

I Have Quieted My Soul

A Song of Ascents. Of David.

¹O Yahweh, my heart is not ^aexalted, and my eyes are not ^braised high;

And I do not ¹involve myself in ^cgreat matters,

Or in matters ^dtoo marvelous for me.

²Surely I have ^asoothed and quieted my soul,

Like a weaned ^bchild with his mother,

Like a weaned child is my soul ¹within me.

³O Israel, ^await for Yahweh

^bFrom now until forever.
