Chapter 129Chapter 131

1A Song of Ascents. Out of the depths I have cried to You, O LORD.

2Lord, hear my voice! Let Your ears be attentive To the voice of my supplications.

3If You, LORD, should mark iniquities, O Lord, who could stand?

4But there is forgiveness with You, That You may be feared.

5I wait for the LORD, my soul does wait, And in His word do I hope.

6My soul [waits] for the Lord More than the watchmen for the morning; [Indeed, more than] the watchmen for the morning.

7O Israel, hope in the LORD; For with the LORD there is lovingkindness, And with Him is abundant redemption.

8And He will redeem Israel From all his iniquities.
