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.
