Psalm 130

1    Out of the depths have I cried to you, O Lord;

    Lord, hear my voice;  

let your ears consider well the voice of my supplication.

2    If you, Lord, were to mark what is done amiss,  

O Lord, who could stand?

3    But there is forgiveness with you,  

so that you shall be feared.

4    I wait for the Lord; my soul waits for him;  

in his word is my hope.

5    My soul waits for the Lord,

    more than the night watch for the morning,  

more than the night watch for the morning.

6    O Israel, wait for the Lord,  

for with the Lord there is mercy;

7    With him is plenteous redemption  

and he shall redeem Israel from all their sins.
