Psalms 130

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 A song of ascents. Out of the depths I call to you, LORD;	1 Often have they fought against me from my youth, let Israel now say.
2 Lord, hear my cry! May your ears be attentive to my cry for mercy.	2 Often have they fought against me from my youth: but they could not prevail over me.
3 If you, LORD, mark our sins, Lord, who can stand?	3 The wicked have wrought upon my back: they have lengthened their iniquity.
4 But with you is forgiveness and so you are revered.	4 The Lord who is just will cut the necks of sinners:
5 I wait with longing for the LORD, my soul waits for his word.	5 let them all be confounded and turned back that hate Sion.
6 My soul looks for the Lord more than sentinels for daybreak. More than sentinels for daybreak,	6 Let them be as grass on the tops of houses: which withered before it be plucked up:
7 let Israel look for the LORD, For with the LORD is kindness, with him is full redemption,	7 Wherewith the mower filleth not his hand: nor he that gathereth sheaves his bosom.
8 And God will redeem Israel from all their sins.	8 And they that have passed by have not said: The blessing of the Lord be upon you: we have blessed you in the name of the Lord.
