Psalm 129


1 A Song of Degrees.

Out of the depths have I cried to thee, O Lord.

2 O Lord, hearken to my voice;

let thine ears be attentive

to the voice of my supplication.

3 If thou, O Lord, shouldst mark iniquities,

O Lord, who shall stand?

4 For with thee is [1]forgiveness:

for thy [2]name’s sake 5 have I waited for thee, O Lord,

my soul hath waited for thy word.

6 My soul hath hoped in the Lord;

from the morning watch till night.

7 Let Israel hope in the Lord:

for with the Lord is mercy,

and with him is plenteous redemption.

8 And he shall redeem Israel

from all his iniquities.
