Psalms 130

Hope for the Redemption of Yahweh

¹Out of the depths I call to you, O Yahweh.

²“O Lord, hear my voice.

Let your ears be attentive

to the voice of my supplications.

³If you, O Yah, should keep track of iniquities,[#A shortened form of “Yahweh”; #Literally “keep”]

O Lord, who could stand?

⁴But with you is forgiveness,

so that you may be feared.”

⁵I await Yahweh; my soul awaits,

and I wait for his word.

⁶My soul waits for the Lord

more than watchmen for the morning.

Yes, more than watchmen for the morning.

⁷O Israel, wait for Yahweh.[#Or “hope”]

For with Yahweh there is loyal love,

and with him there is abundant redemption.

⁸And he will redeem Israel

from all its iniquities.
