Psalm 130

A song for pilgrims ascending to Jerusalem. ¹From the depths of despair, O LORD, I call for your help. ² Hear my cry, O Lord. Pay attention to my prayer.

³LORD, if you kept a record of our sins, who, O Lord, could ever survive? ⁴ But you offer forgiveness, that we might learn to fear you.

⁵I am counting on the LORD; yes, I am counting on him. I have put my hope in his word. ⁶ I long for the Lord more than sentries long for the dawn, yes, more than sentries long for the dawn.

⁷O Israel, hope in the LORD; for with the LORD there is unfailing love. His redemption overflows. ⁸ He himself will redeem Israel from every kind of sin.
