Zabur 130

A Song of Ascents.

1Out of the depths I have cried to you, YAHWEH.1
2Lord, hear my voice.
Let your ears be attentive to the voice of my petitions.

3If you, YAH,2 kept a record of sins,
Lord, who could stand?
4But there is forgiveness with you,
Therefore you are feared.

5I wait for YAHWEH.
My soul waits.
I hope in his Word.
6My soul longs for the Lord more than watchmen long for the morning;
More than watchmen for the morning.

7Israel, hope in YAHWEH,
For with YAHWEH there is loving kindness.
With him is abundant redemption.
8He will redeem Israel from all their sins.
