130
A Song of Ascents.
1 Out of the depths I have cried to you, LORD.*
2 Lord, hear my voice.
Let your ears be attentive to the voice of my petitions.
3 If you, LORD,† kept a record of sins,
Lord, who could stand?
4 But there is forgiveness with you,
therefore you are feared.
5 I wait for the LORD.
My soul waits.
I hope in his word.
6 My soul longs for the Lord more than watchmen long for the morning,
more than watchmen for the morning.
7 Israel, hope in the LORD,
for there is loving kindness with the LORD.
Abundant redemption is with him.
8 He will redeem Israel from all their sins.
* 130:1 LORD or GOD in all caps is from the Hebrew יהוה Yahweh except when otherwise noted as being from the short form יה Yah. † 130:3 Hebrew: יה Yah
