Psalm 130

A Song of degrees.

1

Lord, from the depths to thee I cry’d.

2

 

My voice, Lord, do thou hear:

 

Unto my supplication’s voice

 

 

give an attentive ear.

3

Lord, who shall stand, if thou, O Lord,

 

 

should’st mark iniquity?

4

But yet with thee forgiveness is,

 

 

that fear’d thou mayest be.

 

5

I wait for God, my soul doth wait,

 

 

my hope is in his word.

6

More than they that for morning watch,

 

 

my soul waits for the Lord;

 

I say, more than they that do watch

 

 

the morning light to see.

7

Let Israel hope in the Lord,

 

 

for with him mercies be;

 

 

And plenteous redemption

 

 

is ever found with him.

8

And from all his iniquities

 

 

he Isr’el shall redeem.
