Psalms 130:1–8

^{A Song of the Ascents.}

¹Out of the depths I have called upon you, O Jehovah.

²O Jehovah, do hear my voice.
May your ears prove to be attentive to the voice of my entreaties.

³If errors were what you watch, O Jah,
O Jehovah, who could stand?

⁴For there is the [true] forgiveness with you,
In order that you may be feared.

⁵I have hoped, O Jehovah, my soul has hoped,
And for his word I have waited.

⁶My soul [has waited] for Jehovah
More than watchmen for the morning,
Watching for the morning.

⁷Let Israel keep waiting for Jehovah.
For there is loving‐kindness with Jehovah,
And abundantly so is there redemption with him.

⁸And he himself will redeem Israel out of all his errors.
