Psalms 130
130
A Prayer for Help
1From the depths of my despair I call to you, LORD.
2Hear my cry, O Lord;
listen to my call for help!
3If you kept a record of our sins,
who could escape being condemned?
4But you forgive us,
so that we should stand in awe of you.
5I wait eagerly for the LORD's help,
and in his word I trust.
6I wait for the Lord
more eagerly than watchmen wait for the dawn —
than watchmen wait for the dawn.
7Israel, trust in the LORD,
because his love is constant
and he is always willing to save.
8 #
Mt 1.21; Tit 2.14 He will save his people Israel
from all their sins.

(A song for worship.)
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.
