Psalms of David - Modern Translation - Psalm 130

From the depths, 
I cry to You, O Lord!

Lord, hear my voice; 
let Your ears be attentive 
to my plea for mercy.

If You kept a record of wrongs, O Lord, 
who could stand before You?

But with You, there is forgiveness, 
so that we may serve You with reverence.

I wait for the Lord, 
my soul waits, 
and in His word, 
I place my hope.

My soul longs for the Lord 
more than watchmen wait for the morning—
yes, more than watchmen wait for the dawn.

O followers of Israel, 
put your hope in the Lord!

For with the Lord is unfailing love, 
and with Him is full redemption.

He will redeem His people 
from all their burdens and failings.
