Psalm 130

Out of the Depths

Heading
A song of the ascents.

Out of the Depths

Out of the depths I have called to you, O Lord.
Lord, hear my voice.
Let your ears be attentive to the sound of my cry for mercy.
If you, Lord,[a] kept a record of guilt,
O Lord, who could stand?
But with you there is pardon,
so you are feared.
I wait for the Lord. My soul waits,
and in his word I have put my hope.
My soul waits for the Lord
more than watchmen wait for the morning,
more than watchmen wait for the morning.
Israel, wait confidently for the Lord,
because with the Lord there is mercy.
With him there is abundant redemption.
So he himself will redeem Israel from all its guilt.
