Psalms, chapter 130

Trusting the Lord in Times of Trouble

From a sea of troubles I cry out to you, Lord.

²Won't you please listen as I beg for mercy?

³If you kept record of our sins, no one could last long.

⁴But you forgive usI, and so we will worship you.

⁵With all my heart, I am waitingH, Lord, for you!

I trust your promises.

⁶I wait for you more eagerly

than a soldier on guard duty waits for the dawn.

Yes, I wait more eagerly

than a soldier on guard duty waits for the dawn.

⁷Israel, trust the Lord!

God is always merciful and has the power to save you.

⁸Israel, the Lord will save you from all your sinsH.
