Psalms Chapter 130 - Bible in Basic English

1

<A Song of the going up.> Out of the deep have I sent up my cry to you, O Lord.

2

Lord, let my voice come before you: let your ears be awake to the voice of my prayer.

3

O Jah, if you took note of every sin, who would go free?

4

But there is forgiveness with you, so that you may be feared.

5

I am waiting for the Lord, my soul is waiting for him, and my hope is in his word.

6

My soul is watching for the Lord more than those who are watching for the morning; yes, more than the watchers for the morning.

7

O Israel, have hope in the Lord; for with the Lord is mercy and full salvation.

8

And he will make Israel free from all his sins.
