Psalm 130 - English Standard Version (ESV)

My Soul Waits for the Lord

A Song of (A)Ascents.

130 Out of (B)the depths I cry to you, O Lord!
2 O Lord, hear my voice!
(C)Let your ears be attentive
to (D)the voice of my pleas for mercy!

3 If you, O Lord, should (E)mark iniquities,
O Lord, who could (F)stand?
4 But with you there is (G)forgiveness,
(H)that you may be feared.

5 I (I)wait for the Lord, (J)my soul waits,
and (K)in his word I hope;
6 my soul (L)waits for the Lord
more than (M)watchmen for (N)the morning,
more than watchmen for the morning.

7 O Israel, (O)hope in the Lord!
For (P)with the Lord there is steadfast love,
and with him is plentiful redemption.
8 And he will (Q)redeem Israel
from all his iniquities.
