Psalm 130
Vers 1
Out of the depths of sadness
to you, O LORD, I cry.
Bless me again with gladness
and help me from on high.
LORD, hear my supplication
and listen to my plea.
O Fount of consolation,
with mercy comfort me.
Vers 2
If, showing no compassion,
you would our sins record
and mark all our transgressions,
who then could stand, O LORD?
But you will pardon fully
all our iniquity,
that we may serve you truly
and fear your majesty.
Vers 3
O God of my salvation,
my soul, with longing stirred,
waits for your consolation,
hopes in your steadfast word.
More keenly I am yearning
for you, O faithful One,
than watchers for the morning
await the break of dawn.
Vers 4
Hope in the LORD, O nation!
With him is steadfast love,
and he with full salvation
will bless you from above.
The LORD will in compassion
for Israel atone;
yes, from all their transgression
he will redeem his own.
