Theologa | Psalms 130:130:4

שִׁיר הַמַּעֲלוֹת מִמַּעֲמַקִּים קְרָאתִיךָ יְהוָה׃

A Song of Ascents. Out of the depths have I called Thee, O LORD.

¹

אֲדֹנָי שִׁמְעָה בְקוֹלִי תִּהְיֶינָה אָזְנֶיךָ קַשֻּׁבוֹת לְקוֹל תַּחֲנוּנָי׃

Lord, hearken unto my voice; let Thine ears be attentive to the voice of my supplications.

אִם־עֲוֺנוֹת תִּשְׁמָר־יָהּ אֲדֹנָי מִי יַעֲמֹד׃

If Thou, LORD, shouldest mark iniquities, O Lord, who could stand?

כִּי־עִמְּךָ הַסְּלִיחָה לְמַעַן תִּוָּרֵא׃

And He will redeem Israel from all his iniquities.
