Psalm 130


1. From the depths of despair, O LORD,
    
I call for your help.


2. Hear my cry, O Lord.
    
Pay attention to my prayer.


3. LORD, if you kept a record of our sins,
    
who, O Lord, could ever survive?


4. But you offer forgiveness,
    
that we might learn to fear you.


5. I am counting on the LORD;
    
yes, I am counting on him.
    
I have put my hope in his word.


6. I long for the Lord
    
more than sentries long for the dawn,
    
yes, more than sentries long for the dawn.


7. O Israel, hope in the LORD;
    for with the LORD there is unfailing love.
    
His redemption overflows.


8. He himself will redeem Israel
    
from every kind of sin.
