Psalms 130

130

A song for going up to the Temple.[615]

<1> Lord, I am in deep trouble,

so I am calling to you for help.

<2> My Master, listen to me.

Listen to my cry for help.

<3> Lord, if you punished people

for all their sins,

no one would be left alive.

<4> But you forgive people,

so they fear and respect you.

<5> I am waiting for the Lord to help me.

My soul waits for him.

I trust what he says.

<6> I am waiting for my Master,

like a guard waiting and waiting for the morning to come.

<7> Israel, trust in the Lord.

The Lord is the one who is faithful and true.

He saves us again and again,

<8> and he is the one who will save Israel from all their sins.
