A Song of the Ascents.
130 From the depths I call to you, O Ahv'ah {Heb. Yahvah}.
2 O Ahv'ah {Heb. Yahvah}, hear my voice.
May your ears pay attention to my pleas for help.
3 If errors were what you watch, O Yah,
Then who, O Ahv'ah {Heb. Yahvah}, could stand?
4 For with you there is true forgiveness,
So that you may be held in awe.
5 I hope in Ahv'ah {Heb. Yahvah}, my whole being hopes in him;
I wait for his word.
6 I eagerly wait for Ahv'ah {Heb. Yahvah},
More than watchmen wait for the morning,
Yes, more than watchmen wait for the morning.
7 Let Isra'Al keep waiting for Ahv'ah {Heb. Yahvah},
For Ahv'ah {Heb. Yahvah} is loyal in his love,
And he has great power to redeem.
8 He will redeem Isra'Al from all their errors.
