Psalm 130:1-8
A Song of the Ascents.
130 From the depths I call to you, O Jehovah.+
2 O Jehovah, hear my voice.
May your ears pay attention to my pleas for help.
3 If errors were what you watch,* O Jah,*Then who, O Jehovah, could stand?+
4 For with you there is true forgiveness,+So that you may be held in awe.*+
5 I hope in Jehovah, my whole being* hopes in him;I wait for his word.
6 I eagerly wait* for Jehovah,+More than watchmen wait for the morning,+Yes, more than watchmen wait for the morning.
7 Let Israel keep waiting for Jehovah,For Jehovah is loyal in his love,+And he has great power to redeem.
8 He will redeem Israel from all their errors.
