From the depths of the abyss (Psalm 130)
Lili Boulanger
From the depths of the abyss I cry,
Yahweh Adonai.
Hear my prayer!
May your ears be attentive
To the sounds of my prayer.
If you were to take our sins into account
Who could withstand them, Yahweh?
Forgiveness is in Yahweh
And so he is revered.
My soul places its hope in Yahweh,
I hope, I count on your word
More than the night watchmen
Long for the morning.
Israel places its hope in Yahweh,
For in Yahweh is mercy,
And the fullness of redemption
It is he who will deliver Israel
From all her iniquities.
In Yahweh is mercy.
Ah! Yahweh Adonai.
