Psalm 130

Psalm 130

A song for going up to worship. 

¹O Lord, out of the depths I call to you. 

²O Lord, hear my voice. 

Let your ears be open to my pleas for mercy. 

³O Lord, who would be able to stand 

if you kept a record of sins? 

⁴But with you there is forgiveness 

so that you can be feared. 

⁵I wait for the Lord, my soul waits, 

and with hope I wait for his word. 

⁶My soul waits for the Lord 

more than those who watch for the morning, 

more than those who watch for the morning. 

⁷O Israel, put your hope in the Lord, 

because with the Lord there is mercy 

and with him there is unlimited forgiveness. 

⁸He will rescue Israel from all its sins.
