Psalm 130

Psalm 130

A song of ascents.

¹Out of the depths^e I cry to you,^f Lord;

²Lord, hear my voice.^g

Let your ears be attentive^h

to my cry for mercy.ⁱ

³If you, Lord, kept a record of sins,

Lord, who could stand?^j

⁴But with you there is forgiveness,^k

so that we can, with reverence, serve you.^l

⁵I wait for the Lord,^m my whole being waits,ⁿ

and in his word^o I put my hope.

⁶I wait for the Lord

more than watchmen^p wait for the morning,

more than watchmen wait for the morning.^q

⁷Israel, put your hope^r in the Lord,

for with the Lord is unfailing love^s

and with him is full redemption.^t

⁸He himself will redeem^u Israel

from all their sins.^v
