Psalm 130

Waiting for Divine Redemption

A Song of Ascents.

 1  Out of the depths I cry to you, O LORD.
 2   Lord, hear my voice!
     Let your ears be attentive
         to the voice of my supplications!

 3  If you, O LORD, should mark iniquities,
         Lord, who could stand?
 4  But there is forgiveness with you,
         so that you may be revered.

 5  I wait for the LORD, my soul waits,
         and in his word I hope;
 6  my soul waits for the Lord
         more than those who watch for the morning,
         more than those who watch for the morning.

 7  O Israel, hope in the LORD!
         For with the LORD there is steadfast love,
         and with him is great power to redeem.
 8  It is he who will redeem Israel
         from all its iniquities.
