Psalms 130 WEB
Summary: One of the seven traditional penitential psalms, a Song of Ascents known by its Latin title De Profundis, opening with a cry from the depths of despair: "Out of the depths have I cried unto thee, O LORD" (v. 1). It reflects on the impossibility of standing before God if sins were counted, and rests instead on forgiveness: "But there is forgiveness with thee, that thou mayest be feared" (v. 4). It closes with an image of intense, patient hope: "My soul waiteth for the Lord more than they that watch for the morning" (v. 6), urging Israel to hope in the LORD's plentiful redemption.
1Out of the depths I have cried to you, Yahweh.
2Lord, hear my voice. Let your ears be attentive to the voice of my petitions.
3If you, Yah, kept a record of sins, Lord, who could stand?
4But there is forgiveness with you, therefore you are feared.
5I wait for Yahweh. My soul waits. I hope in his word.
6My soul longs for the Lord more than watchmen long for the morning, more than watchmen for the morning.
7Israel, hope in Yahweh, for there is loving kindness with Yahweh. Abundant redemption is with him.
8He will redeem Israel from all their sins.
