Psalm 130:1–131:3

1  Out of cthe depths I cry to you, O Lord!

2  O Lord, hear my voice!

dLet your ears be attentive

to ethe voice of my pleas for mercy!

3  If you, O Lord, should fmark iniquities,

O Lord, who could gstand?

4  But with you there is hforgiveness,

ithat you may be feared.

5  I jwait for the Lord, kmy soul waits,

and lin his word I hope;

6  my soul mwaits for the Lord

more than nwatchmen for othe morning,

more than watchmen for the morning.

7  O Israel, phope in the Lord!

For qwith the Lord there is steadfast love,

and with him is plentiful redemption.

8  And he will rredeem Israel

from all his iniquities.

I Have Calmed and Quieted My Soul

131 A Song of mAscents. Of David.

1  O Lord, my heart is not slifted up;

my eyes are not traised too high;

I do not uoccupy myself with things

too great and vtoo marvelous for me.

2  But I have calmed and quieted my soul,

like a weaned wchild with its mother;

like a weaned child is my soul within me.

3  xO Israel, hope in the Lord

from this time forth and forevermore.
