(130) A Song of Degrees.
1Out of the depths have I cried to you, O Lord.
2O Lord, listen to my voice; let your ears be attentive to the voice of my supplication.
3If you, O Lord, should mark iniquities, O Lord, who shall stand?
4For with you is 1 forgiveness: for your 2 name's sake
5have I waited for you, O Lord, my soul has waited for your word.
6My soul has hoped in the Lord; from the morning watch till night.
7Let Israel hope in the Lord: for with the Lord is mercy, and with him is plenteous redemption.
8And he shall redeem Israel from all his iniquities.
- Or, propitiation.
- See Gen 31:53.
