‏ Psalms 130

Hope for the Redemption of Yahweh

A song of ascents. ▼
▼The Hebrew Bible counts the superscription as the first verse of the psalm

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, ▼
▼A shortened form of “Yahweh”
 should ⌞keep track of⌟ ▼
▼Literally “keep”
 iniquities,
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 ▼
▼Or “hope,” here and v. 7, though the Hebrew uses a different verbal stem in v. 7
 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 ▼
▼Or “hope”
 for Yahweh.
For with Yahweh there is loyal love,
and with him there is abundant redemption.
8And he will redeem Israel
from all its iniquities.
