A song of ascents. 2
130:1 From the deep water 3 I cry out to you, O Lord.
130:2 O Lord, listen to me! 4
Pay attention to 5 my plea for mercy!
130:3 If you, O Lord, were to keep track of 6 sins,
O Lord, who could stand before you? 7
130:4 But 8 you are willing to forgive, 9
so that you might 10 be honored. 11
130:5 I rely on 12 the Lord,
I rely on him with my whole being; 13
I wait for his assuring word. 14
130:6 I yearn for the Lord, 15
more than watchmen do for the morning,
yes, more than watchmen do for the morning. 16
130:7 O Israel, hope in the Lord,
for the Lord exhibits loyal love, 17
and is more than willing to deliver. 18
130:8 He will deliver 19 Israel
from all the consequences of their sins. 20
