Psalms 130
1Out of the deep have I sent up my cry to you, O Lord.
2Lord, let my voice come before you: let your ears be awake to the voice of my prayer.
3O Jah, if you took note of every sin, who would go free?
4But there is forgiveness with you, so that you may be feared.
5I am waiting for the Lord, my soul is waiting for him, and my hope is in his word.
6My soul is watching for the Lord more than those who are watching for the morning; yes, more than the watchers for the morning.
7O Israel, have hope in the Lord; for with the Lord is mercy and full salvation.
8And he will make Israel free from all his sins.
Psalms 130
1Out of the depths I have cried to you, Lord.
2Lord, hear my voice. Let your ears be attentive to the voice of my petitions.
3If you, Yah, kept a record of sins, Lord, who could stand?
4But there is forgiveness with you, therefore you are feared.
5I wait for the Lord. 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 the Lord, for with the Lord there is loving kindness. With him is abundant redemption.
8He will redeem Israel from all their sins.
