The Key Word — אֲדֹנָי, 'a.do.Naigenerated
The term אֲדֹנָי (Adonay) is a respectful title for God, often used in place of Yahweh. It conveys reverence and is employed throughout the Bible to address God formally. This word indicates a relationship of worship and devotion, underscoring the psalmist's acknowledgment of God's sovereignty.
As an emphatic form of the word for lord, אֲדֹנָי signifies not just authority but also a deep personal connection, as it is used in prayer to invoke God's presence and intervention.
How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated
This study reads the verse in the Berean Standard Bible, so the BSB is the wording every comparison below is made against.
Sentence Structuregenerated
The main verb of the verse is שִׁמְעָ֪ה, listen, which governs the entire plea. The structure includes a noun phrase for the subject and a series of clauses that express the psalmist's requests, creating a flow from the invocation to the specific requests for God's attention.
The Hebrew word order places emphasis on the urgent call for God's ears to be attentive, highlighting the psalmist's desperation and the importance of divine response.

The Greek term for שִׁמְעָ֪ה is ἀκούω (akouō), which emphasizes the act of hearing with attention, aligning closely with the Hebrew intent.

The four witnesses to this verse — Masoretic, Septuagint, Samaritan, Qumran
The Masoretic Text (MT) of Psalms 130:2 reads: "אֲדֹנָי֮ שִׁמְעָ֪ה בְק֫וֹלִ֥י תִּהְיֶ֣ינָה אָ֭זְנֶיךָ קַשֻּׁב֑וֹת לְ֝ק֗וֹל תַּחֲנוּנָֽי׃" The Septuagint (LXX) corresponds closely to the MT, matching 7 of the 8 words, although the word order and articles differ due to the nature of Greek syntax. The Dead Sea Scrolls (4Q87 and 11Q5) contain fragments of the verse, with some words partially restored and others supplied by an editor, but they largely agree with the MT in content, including the key phrases. Overall, the MT, LXX, and the Dead Sea Scrolls present a consistent message regarding the plea for God’s attention to the voice of the supplicant.
אֲדֹנָי֮ שִׁמְעָ֪ה בְק֫וֹלִ֥י תִּהְיֶ֣ינָה אָ֭זְנֶיךָ קַשֻּׁב֑וֹת לְ֝ק֗וֹל תַּחֲנוּנָֽי׃
7 of the 8 words are matched. This is the word-by-word correspondence, not the Septuagint's own sentence — its word order and its articles are its own.

nothing on the leather here — 1 partly restored, 9 supplied entire by an editor.
[אדוני] שמע׳ה בקול׳י תהי נא אוזנ׳כה קשובת ל׳י [לקול] [תחנונ׳י]
6 words on the leather — 1 partly restored, 3 supplied entire by an editor.
Four traditions, not one. “On the leather” means the letters physically survive on the scroll, as against letters an editor has supplied to fill a hole in it — a restoration is a scholar’s reading, not a reading of the manuscript. Words in [square brackets] are supplied; the notes count them apart from what survives.

אֲדֹנָי (Adonay) means 'Lord' and is an emphatic form of another Hebrew word for lord. It is used specifically as a title for God, often in place of Yahweh to show reverence. Variations include אֲדֹנִי and אֲדֹנַי, which help distinguish divine from human references.

Lord
There are various Hebrew and Greek words so rendered.
(1.) Heb. Jehovah, has been rendered in the English Bible LORD, printed in small capitals. This is the proper name of the God of the Hebrews. The form “Jehovah” is retained only in Ex. 6:3; Ps. 83:18; Isa. 12:2; 26:4, both in the Authorized and the Revised Version.
(2.) Heb. ‘adon, means one possessed of absolute control. It denotes a master, as of slaves (Gen. 24:14, 27), or a ruler of his subjects (45:8), or a husband, as lord of his wife (18:12).
The old plural form of this Hebrew word is ’adonai. From a superstitious reverence for the name “Jehovah,” the Jews, in reading their Scriptures, whenever that name…
[GOD]
This name belongs to God by preeminence; and in this sense ought never to be given to any creature. Jesus Christ, as the Messiah, the Son of God, and equal with the Father, is often called Lord in Scripture, especially in the writing of Paul. The word LORD, in the English Bible, when printed in small capitals, stands always for JEHOVAH in the Hebrew. See JEHOVAH.
The Hebrew word שָׁמַע (shama`) means 'to hear' and encompasses a range of meanings including listening, obeying, and proclaiming. It is built from a primitive root and can imply attention and understanding. The entries highlight various grammatical forms, such as Qal, Niphal, Piel, and Hiphil, indicating different nuances of hearing and obeying. There is no significant disagreement among the lexicons regarding its meanings.

This is the primary sense, although we now say, produced by man. 'Part of these were slain; ' that is, a number separate, for part denotes a division; the sense then is, a number from or out of the whole were slain. So also, 'some of these were slain; ' that is…
