Psalms Chapter 130

A Song of Ascents

1 LORD, I’ve cried out to you from the depths;

         2be attentive to my petitions.

3 If you kept track of sins, who could stand?

         4But you forgive so people can continue to respect you.

5 I wait for the LORD

         and put my hope in what he says.

6 I wait for the Lord

      more than watchmen hope for morning.

7 Israel, put your hope in the LORD

      because there’s enduring love

      and abundant redemption in him.

8 He’ll redeem Israel from its sins.                                         

Ps 130:1-8
