130:1 From the deep water I cry out to you, O Lord.

130:2 O sovereign Master, listen to me! Pay attention to my plea for mercy!

130:3 If you, O Lord, were to keep track of sins, O sovereign Master, who could stand before you?

130:4 But you are willing to forgive, so that you might be honored.

130:5 I rely on the Lord, I rely on him with my whole being; I wait for his assuring word.

130:6 I yearn for the sovereign Master, more than watchmen do for the morning, yes, more than watchmen do for the morning.

130:7 O Israel, hope in the Lord, for the Lord exhibits loyal love, and is more than willing to deliver.

130:8 He will deliver Israel from all the consequences of their sins.
