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