Psalm 130-131

Darby Translation

A Song of degrees.

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

² Lord, hear my voice; let thine ears be attentive to the voice of my supplication.

³ If thou, Jah, shouldest mark iniquities, Lord, who shall stand?

⁴ But there is forgiveness with thee, that thou mayest be feared.

⁵ I wait for Jehovah; my soul doth wait, and in his word do I hope.

⁶ My soul [waiteth] for the Lord more than the watchers [wait] for the morning, [more than] the watchers for the morning.

⁷ Let Israel hope in Jehovah, because with Jehovah there is loving-kindness, and with him is plenteous redemption;

⁸ 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.

² Surely I have restrained and composed my soul, like a weaned child with its mother: my soul within me is as a weaned child.

³ Let Israel hope in Jehovah, from henceforth and for evermore.
