Psalms 130

Trusting the Lord in Times of Trouble

1From a sea of troubles

I cry out to you, Lord .

2Won't you please listen

as I beg for mercy?

3If you kept record of our sins,

no one could last long.

4But you forgive us,

and so we will worship you.

5With all my heart,

I am waiting, Lord , for you!

I trust your promises.

6I wait for you more eagerly

than a soldier on guard duty

waits for the dawn.

Yes, I wait more eagerly

than a soldier on guard duty

waits for the dawn.

7Israel, trust the Lord !

God is always merciful

and has the power to save you.

8Israel, the Lord will save you[#Mt 1.21; Titus 2.14.]

from all your sins.
