Psalm 130

A Song of [a]Ascents.

Out of the depths have I cried to You, O Lord.

Lord, hear my voice; let Your ears be attentive to the voice of my supplications.

If You, Lord, should keep account of and treat [us according to our] sins, O Lord, who could stand?(A)

But there is forgiveness with You [just what man needs], that You may be reverently feared and worshiped.(B)

I wait for the Lord, I expectantly wait, and in His word do I hope.

I am looking and waiting for the Lord more than watchmen for the morning, I say, more than watchmen for the morning.

O Israel, hope in the Lord! For with the Lord there is mercy and loving-kindness, and with Him is plenteous redemption.

And He will redeem Israel from all their iniquities.
