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.

Psalm 130
Hope in the Lord’s Forgiving Love.
A Song of #130:0 See Psalm 120 title note.Ascents.
1Out of the #130:1 The Psalmist probably used “depths” figuratively, but the ancient rabbis understood this as an admonition to pray from a low place (in elevation) as a matter of humility.depths [of distress] I have cried to You, O Lord.
2Lord, hear my voice!
Let Your ears be attentive
To the voice of my supplications.
3If You, Lord, should keep an account of our sins and treat us accordingly,
O Lord, who could stand [before you in judgment and claim innocence]? [Ps 143:2; Rom 3:20; Gal 2:16]
4But there is forgiveness with You,
That You may be feared and worshiped [with submissive wonder]. [Deut 10:12]
5¶I wait [patiently] for the Lord, my soul [expectantly] waits,
And in His word do I hope.
6My soul waits for the Lord
More than the watchmen for the morning;
More than the watchmen for the morning.
7O Israel, hope in the Lord;
For with the Lord there is lovingkindness,
And with Him is abundant redemption.
8And He will redeem Israel
From all his sins.
