Psalm 130-131
Holman Christian Standard Bible
Psalm 130
Awaiting Redemption
A song of ascents.
1 Out of the depths I call to You, Yahweh!(A)
2 Lord, listen to my voice;
let Your ears be attentive
to my cry for help.(B)
3 Yahweh, if You considered sins,
Lord, who could stand?(C)
4 But with You there is forgiveness,
so that You may be revered.(D)
5 I wait for Yahweh; I wait
and put my hope in His word.(E)
6 I wait for the Lord
more than watchmen for the morning—
more than watchmen for the morning.(F)
7 Israel, put your hope in the Lord.(G)
For there is faithful love with the Lord,
and with Him is redemption in abundance.(H)
8 And He will redeem Israel
from all its sins.(I)
Psalm 131
A Childlike Spirit
A Davidic song of ascents.
1 Lord, my heart is not proud;
my eyes are not haughty.(J)
I do not get involved with things
too great or too difficult for me.(K)
2 Instead, I have calmed and quieted myself
like a little weaned child with its mother;
I am like a little child.(L)
3 Israel, put your hope in the Lord,
both now and forever.(M)
