Psalm 130
Out of the depths
From the depths the singer cries to the Lord, knowing forgiveness rests with him, waiting with hope for redemption more eagerly than watchmen for morning.
8 verses. The 130th of 150 chapters in Psalms, in Poetry and Wisdom.
1Out of the depths have I cried unto thee, O Lord.
2Lord, hear my voice: let thine ears be attentive to the voice of my supplications.
3If thou, Lord, shouldest mark iniquities, O Lord, who shall stand?
4But there is forgiveness with thee, that thou mayest be feared.
5I wait for the Lord, my soul doth wait, and in his word do I hope.
6My soul waiteth for the Lord more than they that watch for the morning: I say, more than they that watch for the morning.
7Let Israel hope in the Lord: for with the Lord there is mercy, and with him is plenteous redemption.
8And he shall redeem Israel from all his iniquities.
