Psalms 130

King James Bible	New Jerusalem Bible
¹ Out of the depths have I cried unto thee, O LORD.	¹ [Song of Ascents] From the depths I cal to you, Yahweh:
² Lord, hear my voice: let thine ears be attentive to the voice of my supplications.	² Lord, hear my cry. Listen attentively to the sound of my pleading!
³ If thou, LORD, shouldest mark iniquities, O Lord, who shall stand?	³ If you kept a record of our sins, Lord, who could stand their ground?
⁴ But there is forgiveness with thee, that thou mayest be feared.	⁴ But with you is forgiveness, that you may be revered.
⁵ I wait for the LORD, my soul doth wait, and in his word do I hope.	⁵ I rely, my whole being relies, Yahweh, on your promise.
⁶ My soul waiteth for the Lord more than they that watch for the morning: I say, more than they that watch for the morning.	⁶ My whole being hopes in the Lord, more than watchmen for daybreak; more than watchmen fordaybreak
⁷ Let Israel hope in the LORD: for with the LORD there is mercy, and with him is plenteous redemption.	⁷ let Israel hope in Yahweh. For with Yahweh is faithful love, with him generous ransom;
⁸ And he shall redeem Israel from all his iniquities.	⁸ and he wil ransom Israel from al its sins.
