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
A Song of degrees.
1Out of the depths do I call upon thee, Jehovah. 2Lord, hear my voice; let thine ears be attentive to the voice of my supplication. 3If thou, Jah, shouldest mark iniquities, Lord, who shall stand? 4But there is forgiveness with thee, that thou mayest be feared.
5I wait for Jehovah; my soul doth wait, and in his word do I hope. 6My soul waiteth for the Lord more than the watchers wait for the morning, more than the watchers for the morning. 7Let Israel hope in Jehovah, because with Jehovah there is loving-kindness, and with him is plenteous redemption; 8And he will redeem Israel from all his iniquities.
