Psalm 130

Awaiting Redemption

A song of ascents.

1 Out of the depths I call to You, Lord!
2 Lord, listen to my voice; let Your ears be attentive to my cry for help.
3 Lord, if You considered sins, Lord, who could stand?
4 But with You there is forgiveness, so that You may be revered.
5 I wait for the Lord; I wait, and put my hope in His word.
6 I [wait]* The bracketed text has been added for clarity. for the Lord more than watchmen for the morning— more than watchmen for the morning.
7 Israel, put your hope in the Lord.For there is faithful love with the Lord, and with Him is redemption in abundance.
8 And He will redeem Israel from all its sins.
