Psalms 130

Awaiting Redemption

A song of ascents.

1 Out of the depths I call to you,  Lord!  * 130:1 Ps 69:2; Lm 3:55

2 Lord, listen to my voice;

let your ears be attentive

to my cry for help.  * 130:2 2Ch 6:40; Ps 28:6; 140:6

3 Lord, if you kept an account of iniquities,

Lord, who could stand?  * 130:3 Ps 76:7; Mal 3:2; Rv 6:17

4 But with you there is forgiveness,

so that you may be revered.  * 130:4 1Kg 8:39–40; Ps 86:5; Jr 33:8–9

5 I wait for the Lord; I wait

and put my hope in his word.  * 130:5 Ps 33:20; 119:74,81

6 I wait for the Lord

more than watchmen for the morning —

more than watchmen for the morning.  * 130:6 Ps 63:6; 119:147

7 Israel, put your hope in the  Lord.  * 130:7 Ps 131:3

For there is faithful love with the  Lord,

and with him is redemption in abundance.  * 130:7 Ps 111:9

8 And he will redeem Israel

from all its iniquities.  * 130:8 Lk 1:68; Ti 2:14
