Psalms – Chapter 129

Old Testament8 Verses

1A gradual canticle. Out of the depths I have cried to thee, O Lord:

2Lord, hear my voice. Let thy ears be attentive to the voice of my supplication.

3If thou, O Lord, wilt mark iniquities: Lord, who shall stand it.

4For with thee there is merciful forgiveness: and by reason of thy law, I have waited for thee, O Lord. My soul hath relied on his word:

5my soul hath hoped in the Lord.

6From the morning watch even until night, let Israel hope in the Lord.

7Because with the Lord there is mercy: and with him plentiful redemption.

8And he shall redeem Israel from all his iniquities.
