<Psalms 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.
