Psalm 130

Awaiting Redemption

A song of ascents.

1   Out of the depths I call to you, LORD! h

2   Lord, listen to my voice;

let your ears be attentive

to my cry for help. i

3   LORD, if you kept an account of iniquities,

Lord, who could stand? j

4   But with you there is forgiveness,

so that you may be revered. k

5   I wait for the LORD; I wait

and put my hope in his word. l

6   I wait for the Lord

more than watchmen for the morning—

more than watchmen for the morning. m

7   Israel, put your hope in the LORD. n

For there is faithful love with the LORD,

and with him is redemption in abundance. o

8   And he will redeem Israel

from all its iniquities. p
