A Song of degrees.

130 Out of the depths do I call upon thee, Jehovah.

Lord, hear my voice; let thine ears be attentive to the voice of my supplication.

If thou, Jah, shouldest mark iniquities, Lord, who shall stand?

But there is forgiveness with thee, that thou mayest be feared.

I wait for Jehovah; my soul doth wait, and in his word do I hope.

My soul [waiteth] for the Lord more than the watchers [wait] for the morning, [more than] the watchers for the morning.

Let Israel hope in Jehovah, because with Jehovah there is loving-kindness, and with him is plenteous redemption;

And he will redeem Israel from all his iniquities.

A Song of degrees. Of David.

131 Jehovah, my heart is not haughty, nor mine eyes lofty; neither do I exercise myself in great matters, and in things too wonderful for me.

Surely I have restrained and composed my soul, like a weaned child with its mother: my soul within me is as a weaned child.

Let Israel hope in Jehovah, from henceforth and for evermore.

Psalm 130

A song of ascents.

Out of the depths(A) I cry to you,(B) Lord;
    Lord, hear my voice.(C)
Let your ears be attentive(D)
    to my cry for mercy.(E)

If you, Lord, kept a record of sins,
    Lord, who could stand?(F)
But with you there is forgiveness,(G)
    so that we can, with reverence, serve you.(H)

I wait for the Lord,(I) my whole being waits,(J)
    and in his word(K) I put my hope.
I wait for the Lord
    more than watchmen(L) wait for the morning,
    more than watchmen wait for the morning.(M)

Israel, put your hope(N) in the Lord,
    for with the Lord is unfailing love(O)
    and with him is full redemption.(P)
He himself will redeem(Q) Israel
    from all their sins.(R)

Psalm 131

A song of ascents. Of David.

My heart is not proud,(S) Lord,
    my eyes are not haughty;(T)
I do not concern myself with great matters(U)
    or things too wonderful for me.(V)
But I have calmed and quieted myself,(W)
    I am like a weaned child with its mother;
    like a weaned child I am content.(X)

Israel, put your hope(Y) in the Lord
    both now and forevermore.(Z)
