Psalm 130

A song of ascents.

1Out of the depths I cry to you, Yahweh.

2Lord, hear my voice;

let your ears be attentive

to my pleas for mercy.

3If you, Yahweh, would mark iniquities,

Lord, who could stand?

4But there is forgiveness with you,

that you may be revered.

5I wait for Yahweh, my soul waits,

and in his word I hope.

6My soul waits for the Lord

more than watchmen wait for the morning.

7Israel, hope in Yahweh.

Yahweh is merciful,

and he is very willing to forgive.

8It is he who will redeem Israel

from all his sins.
