Psalms 130 WBT
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.
1A Song of degrees. Out of the depths have I cried to thee, O LORD.
2Lord, hear my voice: let thy ears be attentive to the voice of my supplications.
3If thou, LORD, shouldest mark iniquities, O Lord, who shall stand?
4But [there is] forgiveness with thee, that thou mayest be feared.
5I wait for the LORD, my soul doth wait, and in his word do I hope.
6My soul [waiteth] for the Lord more than they that watch for the morning: [I say], [more than] they that watch for the morning.
7Let Israel hope in the LORD: for with the LORD [there is] mercy, and with him [is] plenteous redemption.
8And he shall redeem Israel from all his iniquities.
