Psalm 130

Psalm 130

1Lord , I cry out to you

because I’m suffering so deeply.

2Lord, listen to me.

Pay attention to my cry for your mercy.

3Lord , suppose you kept a close watch on sins.

Lord, who then wouldn’t be found guilty?

4But you forgive.

So we can serve you with respect.

5With all my heart I wait for the Lord to help me.

I put my hope in his word.

6I wait for the Lord to help me.

I want his help more than night watchmen want the morning to come.

I’ll say it again.

I want his help more than night watchmen want the morning to come.

7Israel, put your hope in the Lord ,

because the Lord ’s love never fails.

He sets his people completely free.

8He himself will set Israel

free from all their sins.
