Psalm 129 [MT 130]

  • Penitential
  • Song of Ascent
1

[A Song of Degrees.] Out of the depths have I cried to thee, O Lord.

᾿ῼδὴ τῶν ἀναβαθμῶν. - ΕΚ ΒΑΘΕΩΝ ἐκέκραξά σοι, Κύριε·

2

O Lord, hearken to my voice; let thine ears be attentive to the voice of my supplication.

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

3

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

ἐὰν ἀνομίας παρατηρήσῃς, Κύριε Κύριε, τίς ὑποστήσεται;

4

For with thee is forgiveness:

ὅτι παρὰ σοὶ ὁ ἱλασμός ἐστιν.

5

for thy name’s sake have I waited for thee, O Lord, my soul has waited for thy word.

ἕνεκεν τοῦ ὀνόματός σου ὑπέμεινά σε, Κύριε, ὑπέμεινεν ἡ ψυχή μου εἰς τὸν λόγον σου.

6

My soul has hoped in the Lord; from the morning watch till night.

ἤλπισεν ἡ ψυχή μου ἐπὶ τὸν Κύριον απὸ φυλακῆς πρωΐας μέχρι νυκτός· ἀπὸ φυλακῆς πρωΐας ἐλπισάτω ᾿Ισραὴλ ἐπὶ τὸν Κύριον.

7

Let Israel hope in the Lord: for with the Lord is mercy, and with him is plenteous redemption.

ὅτι παρὰ τῷ Κυρίῳ τὸ ἔλεος καὶ πολλὴ παρ᾿ αὐτῷ λύτρωσις,

8

And he shall redeem Israel from all his iniquities.

καὶ αὐτὸς λυτρώσεται τὸν ᾿Ισραὴλ ἐκ πασῶν τῶν ἀνομιῶν αὐτοῦ.
