130:1 A song of ascents.

From the deep water I cry out to you, O Lord.

2 O Lord, listen to me.

Pay attention to my plea for mercy.

3 If you, O Lord, were to keep track of sins,

O Lord, who could stand before you?

4 But you are willing to forgive

so that you might be honored.

5 I rely on the Lord.

I rely on him with my whole being;

I wait for his assuring word.

6 I yearn for the Lord,

more than watchmen do for the morning,

yes, more than watchmen do for the morning.

7 O Israel, hope in the Lord,

for the Lord exhibits loyal love

and is more than willing to deliver.

8 He will deliver Israel

from all their sins.
