129
(130) A Song of Degrees.
1 Out of the depths have I cried to you, O Lord.
2 O Lord, listen to my voice; let your ears be attentive to the voice of my supplication.
3 If you, O Lord, should mark iniquities, O Lord, who shall stand?
4 For with you is * forgiveness: for your † name's sake
5 have I waited for you, O Lord, my soul has waited for your word.
6 My soul has hoped in the Lord; from the morning watch till night.
7 Let Israel hope in the Lord: for with the Lord is mercy, and with him is plenteous redemption.
8 And he shall redeem Israel from all his iniquities.
* 129:4 Or, propitiation. † 129:4 See Gen 31:53.
