Psalm 130

Psalm 130

A song for those who go up to Jerusalem to worship the Lord.

1 Lord, I cry out to you
    because I’m suffering so deeply.
2 Lord, listen to me.
    Pay attention to my cry for your mercy.

3 Lord, suppose you kept a close watch on sins.
    Lord, who then wouldn’t be found guilty?
4 But you forgive.
    So we can serve you with respect.

5 With all my heart I wait for the Lord to help me.
    I put my hope in his word.
6 I wait for the Lord to help me.
    I want his help more than night watchmen want the morning to come.
I’ll say it again.
    I want his help more than night watchmen want the morning to come.
7 Israel, put your hope in the Lord,
    because the Lord’s love never fails.
    He sets his people completely free.
8 He himself will set Israel
    free from all their sins.
