Psalms 130

1A Song of the Ascents. From depths I have called Thee, Jehovah. 2Lord, hearken to my voice, Thine ears are attentive to the voice of my supplications. 3If iniquities Thou dost observe, O Lord, who doth stand? 4But with Thee is forgiveness, that Thou mayest be feared. 5I hoped for Jehovah--hoped hath my soul, And for His word I have waited. 6My soul is for the Lord, More than those watching for morning, Watching for morning! 7Israel doth wait on Jehovah, For with Jehovah is kindness, And abundant with Him is redemption. 8And He doth redeem Israel from all his iniquities!
