Psalms 130
A penitential psalm crying out from the depths. If God kept a record of sins, no one could stand. But with God there is forgiveness, so he is feared. The psalmist waits for God more than watchmen wait for morning. Israel's hope is in God's unfailing love and full redemption.
A song of ascents. Out of the depths I cry to You, O LORD!
O Lord, hear my voice; let Your ears be attentive to my plea for mercy.
If You, O LORD, kept track of iniquities, then who, O Lord, could stand?
But with You there is forgiveness, so that You may be feared.
I wait for the LORD; my soul does wait, and in His word I put my hope.
My soul waits for the Lord more than watchmen wait for the morning—more than watchmen wait for the morning.
O Israel, put your hope in the LORD, for with the LORD is loving devotion, and with Him is redemption in abundance.
And He will redeem Israel from all iniquity.
