Psalm 130

A song of ascents.

1. Out of the depths I cry to you, O Lord!
   
2. O Lord, hear my voice!
   Let your ears be attentive
   to the voice of my pleas for mercy!
   
3. If you, O Lord, should mark iniquities,
   O Lord, who could stand?
   
4. But with you there is forgiveness,
   that you may be feared.
   
5. I wait for the Lord, my soul waits,
   and in his word I hope;
   
6. my soul waits for the Lord
   more than watchmen for the morning,
   more than watchmen for the morning.
   
7. O Israel, hope in the Lord!
   For with the Lord there is steadfast love,
   and with him is plentiful redemption.
   
8. And he will redeem Israel
   from all his iniquities.
