Psalm 129
Ψαλμοί
Psalm 130 in the Hebrew numbering, which most Western Bibles follow.
1 ᾨδὴ τῶν ἀναβαθμῶν. ΕΚ ΒΑΘΕΩΝ ἐκέκραξά σοι, Κύριε·
(130) A Song of Degrees. Out of the depths have I cried to you, O Lord.
2 Κύριε, εἰσάκουσον τῆς φωνῆς μου· γενηθήτω τὰ ὦτά σου προσέχοντα εἰς τὴν φωνὴν τῆς δεήσεώς μου.
O Lord, listen to my voice; let your ears be attentive to the voice of my supplication.
3 ἐὰν ἀνομίας παρατηρήσῃς, Κύριε Κύριε, τίς ὑποστήσεται;
If you, O Lord, should mark iniquities, O Lord, who shall stand?
4 ὅτι παρὰ σοὶ ὁ ἱλασμός ἐστιν.
For with you is forgiveness: for your name's sake
5 ἕνεκεν τοῦ ὀνόματός σου ὑπέμεινά σε, Κύριε, ὑπέμεινεν ἡ ψυχή μου εἰς τὸν λόγον σου.
have I waited for you, O Lord, my soul has waited for your word.
6 ἤλπισεν ἡ ψυχή μου ἐπὶ τὸν Κύριον απὸ φυλακῆς πρωΐας μέχρι νυκτός· ἀπὸ φυλακῆς πρωΐας ἐλπισάτω Ἰσραὴλ ἐπὶ τὸν Κύριον.
My soul has hoped in the Lord; from the morning watch till night.
7 ὅτι παρὰ τῷ Κυρίῳ τὸ ἔλεος καὶ πολλὴ παρ᾿ αὐτῷ λύτρωσις,
Let Israel hope in the Lord: for with the Lord is mercy, and with him is plenteous redemption.
8 καὶ αὐτὸς λυτρώσεται τὸν Ἰσραὴλ ἐκ πασῶν τῶν ἀνομιῶν αὐτοῦ.
And he shall redeem Israel from all his iniquities.
