Psalm 130 — Compared

King James Version and American Standard Version, side by side.

King James Version (KJV)

1Out of the depths have I cried unto thee, O LORD.

2Lord, hear my voice: let thine ears be attentive to the voice of my supplications.

3If thou, LORD, shouldest mark iniquities, O Lord, who shall stand?

4But there is forgiveness with thee, that thou mayest be feared.

5I wait for the LORD, my soul doth wait, and in his word do I hope.

6My soul waiteth for the Lord more than they that watch for the morning: I say, more than they that watch for the morning.

7Let Israel hope in the LORD: for with the LORD there is mercy, and with him is plenteous redemption.

8And he shall redeem Israel from all his iniquities.

American Standard Version (ASV)

1Out of the depths have I cried unto thee, O Jehovah.

2Lord, hear my voice: Let thine ears be attentive To the voice of my supplications.

3If thou, Jehovah, shouldest mark iniquities, O Lord, who could stand?

4But there is forgiveness with thee, That thou mayest be feared.

5I wait for Jehovah, my soul doth wait, And in his word do I hope.

6My soul `waiteth' for the Lord More than watchmen `wait' for the morning; `Yea, more than' watchmen for the morning.

7O Israel, hope in Jehovah; For with Jehovah there is lovingkindness, And with him is plenteous redemption.

8And he will redeem Israel From all his iniquities. Psalm 131 A Song of Ascents; of David.
