Psalms 130

₁From a sea of troubles

I call 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 us,

and so we will worship you.

₅With all my heart,

I am waiting, 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!

He is always merciful,

and he has the power

to save you.

₈Israel, the LORD will save you

from all your sins.
