Psalm 130

Psalm 130

A song of ascents.

Out of the depths^a I cry to you,^b Lord;

Lord, hear my voice.^c

Let your ears be attentive^d

to my cry for mercy.^e

If you, Lord, kept a record of sins,

Lord, who could stand?^f

But with you there is forgiveness,^g

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

I wait for the Lord,ⁱ my whole being waits,^j

and in his word^k I put my hope.

I wait for the Lord

more than watchmen^l wait for the morning,

more than watchmen wait for the morning.^m

Israel, put your hopeⁿ in the Lord,

for with the Lord is unfailing love^o

and with him is full redemption.^p

He himself will redeem^q Israel

from all their sins.^r
