Chapter 129

The Jews, or other people in tribulation for sin, or temporal captivity, cry to God to be delivered: ℣.4 trusting and encouraging each other in God's accustomed mercy, assuredly hoping that he will redeem & deliver them.

1. 1

   A gradual Canticle. From the depths I have cried to thee, o Lord: voice: Let thine ears be intent to the voice

2. 2

   Lord hear my of my petition.

3. 3

   If thou shalt observe iniquities, o Lord: Lord who shall sustain it?

4. 4

   Because with thee there is propitiation: and for thy law I have expected thee, o Lord. My soul hath expected in his word:

5. 5

   my soul hath hoped in our Lord.

6. 6

   From the morning watch even until night: let Israel hope in our Lord.

7. 7

   Because with our Lord there is mercy: and with him plenteous redemption.

8. 8

   And he shall redeem Israel, from all his iniquities.
