Psalms 130

NEW JERUSALEM	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 [Song of Ascents] From the depths I cal to you, Yahweh:	1 Often have they fought against me from my youth, let Israel now say.
2 Lord, hear my cry. Listen attentively to the sound of my pleading!	2 Often have they fought against me from my youth: but they could not prevail over me.
3 If you kept a record of our sins, Lord, who could stand their ground?	3 The wicked have wrought upon my back: they have lengthened their iniquity.
4 But with you is forgiveness, that you may be revered.	4 The Lord who is just will cut the necks of sinners:
5 I rely, my whole being relies, Yahweh, on your promise.	5 let them all be confounded and turned back that hate Sion.
6 My whole being hopes in the Lord, more than watchmen for daybreak; more than watchmen fordaybreak	6 Let them be as grass on the tops of houses: which withered before it be plucked up:
7 let Israel hope in Yahweh. For with Yahweh is faithful love, with him generous ransom;	7 Wherewith the mower filleth not his hand: nor he that gathereth sheaves his bosom.
8 and he wil ransom Israel from al its 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.
