PSALMS 130

1 Yahweh, I have a lot of troubles/many difficulties, so I call out to you. 2 Yahweh, hear me, while I call out to you [SYN] to be merciful to me! 3 Yahweh, if you kept a record of the sins that we have committed, not one of us [RHQ] would escape from being condemned and punished 4 But you forgive us, with the result that we greatly revere you. 5 Yahweh has said that he would help/rescue me; I trust what he said, and I wait eagerly for him to do that. 6 I wait for Yahweh to help me more than watchmen wait for the light to dawn; yes, I wait more eagerly than they do! 7 You my fellow Israelis, confidently expect that Yahweh will bless us. He will bless us because he faithfully loves us, and he is very willing to save/rescue us. 8 And he will save us Israeli people from being punished for all the sins that we have committed.
