Psalms 130

1 From a sea of troubles I cry out to you, Lord.

2 Won't you please listen as I beg for mercy?

3 If you kept record of our sins, no one could last long.

4 But you forgive us, and so we will worship you.

5 With all my heart, I am waiting, Lord, for you! I trust your promises.

6 I 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.

7 Israel, trust the Lord! God is always merciful and has the power to save you.

8 Israel, the Lord will save you from all your sins.
