1(130) A Song of Degrees. Out of the depths have I cried to you, O Lord.
1A Song of Ascents. Many times they have afflicted me from my youth up. Let Israel now say:
2O Lord, listen to my voice; let your ears be attentive to the voice of my supplication.
2many times they have afflicted me from my youth up, yet they have not prevailed against me.
3If you, O Lord, should mark iniquities, O Lord, who shall stand?
3The plowers plowed on my back. They made their furrows long.
4For with you is forgiveness: for your name's sake
4Yahweh is righteous. He has cut apart the cords of the wicked.
5have I waited for you, O Lord, my soul has waited for your word.
5Let them be disappointed and turned backward, all those who hate Zion.
6My soul has hoped in the Lord; from the morning watch till night.
6Let them be as the grass on the housetops, which withers before it grows up,
7Let Israel hope in the Lord: for with the Lord is mercy, and with him is plenteous redemption.
7with which the reaper doesn’t fill his hand, nor he who binds sheaves, his bosom.
8And he shall redeem Israel from all his iniquities.
8Neither do those who go by say, “The blessing of Yahweh be on you. We bless you in Yahweh’s name.”
