130

1 Out of the depths I cry to you, Yahweh.

2 Lord, hear my voice;
let your ears be attentive
to my pleas for mercy.

3 If you, Yah, would mark iniquities,
Lord, who could stand? 1
4 But there is forgiveness with you,
that you may be revered.

5 I wait for Yahweh, my soul waits,
and in his word I hope.
6 My soul waits for the Lord
more than watchmen wait for the morning.

7 Israel, hope in Yahweh.
Yahweh is merciful,
and with him is great redemption.
8 It is he who will redeem Israel
from all his iniquities.


1Yah is a short form of the name Yahweh.
