Out of the Depths

130 A song of ascents.

130 Out of the depths

I cry to You, O LORD!

2 O Lord, hear my voice;

let Your ears be attentive to my plea for mercy.

3 If You, O LORD, kept track of iniquities,

then who, O Lord, could stand?

4 But with You there is forgiveness,

so that You may be feared.

5 I wait for the LORD; my soul does wait,

and in His word I put my hope.

6 My soul waits for the Lord

more than watchmen wait for the morning—

more than watchmen wait for the morning.

7 O Israel, put your hope in the LORD,

for with the LORD is loving devotion,

and with Him is redemption in abundance.

8 And He will redeem Israel

from all iniquity.
