Psalms 130

Waiting for Divine Redemption

¹Out of the depths I cry to you, O Lord .

²Lord, hear my voice!

Let your ears be attentive

to the voice of my supplications!

³If you, O Lord , should mark iniquities,

Lord, who could stand?

⁴But there is forgiveness with you,

so that you may be revered.

⁵I wait for the Lord , my soul waits,

and in his word I hope;

⁶my soul waits for the Lord

more than those who watch for the morning,

more than those who watch for the morning.

⁷O Israel, hope in the Lord !

For with the Lord there is steadfast love,

and with him is great power to redeem.

⁸It is he who will redeem Israel

from all its iniquities.
