Psalms 129

1 Ὠδὴ τῶν ἀναβαθμῶν. Ἐκ βαθέων ἐκέκραξά σοι Κύριε.

2 Κύριε εἰσάκουσον τῆς φωνῆς μου· γενηθήτω τὰ ὦτά σου προσέχοντα εἰς τὴν φωνὴν τῆς δεήσεώς μου.

3 Ἐὰν ἀνομίας παρατηρήσῃς Κύριε, Κύριε, τίς ὑποστήσεται;

4 Ὅτι παρὰ σοὶ ὁ ἱλασμός ἐστιν· ἕνεκεν τοῦ ὀνόματός σου

5 ὑπέμεινά σε Κύριε, ὑπέμεινεν ἡ ψυχή μου εἰς τὸν λόγον σου,

6 ἤλπισεν ἡ ψυχή μου ἐπὶ τὸν Κύριον· ἀπὸ φυλακῆς πρωΐας μέχρι νυκτός,

7 Ἐλπισάτω Ἰσραὴλ ἐπὶ τὸν Κύριον· ὅτι παρὰ τῷ Κυρίῳ τὸ ἔλεος, καὶ πολλὴ παρ αὐτῷ λύτρωσις.

8 Καὶ αὐτὸς λυτρώσεται τὸν Ἰσραὴλ ἐκ πασῶν τῶν ἀνομιῶν αὐτοῦ.

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, shouldest mark iniquities, O Lord, who shall stand?

4 For with thee is forgiveness: for thy name's sake

propitiation.

See Gen. 31. 53.

5 have I waited for thee, O Lord, my soul has waited for thy word.

6 My soul has 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.
