Psalm 130

Awaiting Redemption

A song of ascents.

¹Out of the depths I call to you, Lord! ^a

²Lord, listen to my voice;

let your ears be attentive

to my cry for help. ^b

³Lord, if you kept an account of iniquities,

Lord, who could stand? ^c

⁴But with you there is forgiveness,

so that you may be revered. ^d

⁵I wait for the Lord; I wait

and put my hope in his word. ^e

⁶I wait for the Lord

more than watchmen for the morning —

more than watchmen for the morning. ^f

⁷Israel, put your hope in the Lord. ^g

For there is faithful love with the Lord,

and with him is redemption in abundance. ^h

⁸And he will redeem Israel

from all its iniquities. ⁱ
