1 Out of the depths I cry unto thee, O Lord.

2 Lord! Hear my voice. Let Thy ears be attentive to the voice of my supplications.

3 If you, O Lord, take notice of iniquity, Lord! Who will stand?

4 But with Thee is forgiveness, that they may reverence Thee.

5 I trust in the Lord, my soul hopes; I trust in His word.

6 My soul waiteth for the Lord more than the watchmen wait for the morning, more than the watchmen for the morning.

7 Let Israel trust in the Lord, for with the Lord is mercy, and with him is much redemption,

8 And he will deliver Israel from all their iniquities.

Psalm 130

Song of ascent. David.

1 Lord! my heart was not haughty, nor were my eyes lifted up, and I did not enter into the great things that were beyond my reach.

2 Have I not humbled and comforted my soul, as a child weaned from its mother's breast? my soul was in me like a child weaned from the breast.

3 Let Israel trust in the Lord from now on and forever.

Psalm 131

Song of ascent.

1 Remember, O Lord, David, and all his brokenness;

2 As he swore to the Lord, He made a vow to the Mighty One of Jacob, saying,

3 "I will not enter into the tent of my house, nor will I ascend my bed;

4 I will not give sleep to my eyes, nor slumber to my eyelids,

5 until I find a place for the Lord, a dwelling place for the Mighty One of Jacob."

6 Behold, we heard of him in Ephrathah, and found him in the fields of Jarim.

7 Let us go to his tabernacle, let us worship his footstool.

8 Stand, O Lord, in the place of thy rest, and thou art the ark of thy might.

9 Thy priests shall be clothed with righteousness, and thy saints shall rejoice.

10 For the sake of David thy servant, turn not away the face of thy anointed.

11 The Lord swore to David the truth, and he will not deny it: "From the fruit of thy womb I will sit on thy throne.

12 If thy sons keep my covenant and my testimonies which I teach them, their sons also shall sit on thy throne for ever."

13 For the LORD hath chosen Zion, hath desired it to be his habitation.
