Psalm 130

A SONG OF THE ASCENTS. I have called You from the depths, YHWH. Lord, listen to my voice, || Your ears are attentive to the voice of my supplications. If You observe iniquities, Lord YAH, who stands? But forgiveness [is] with You, that You may be feared. I hoped [for] YHWH—my soul has hoped, || And I have waited for His word. My soul [is] for the Lord, || More than those watching for morning, || Watching for morning! Israel waits on YHWH, || For kindness [is] with YHWH, || And redemption [is] abundant with Him. And He redeems Israel from all his iniquities!
