Psalms 130
130
Out of the Depths
A song of the stairway
1Lord, I cry out to you out of the depths of my despair!
2Hear my voice, O God!
Answer this prayer and hear my plea for mercy.
3Lord, if you measured us and marked us with our sins,
who would ever have their prayers answered?
4But your forgiving love is what makes you so wonderful.
No wonder you are loved and worshiped!
5This is why I wait upon you, expecting your breakthrough,
for your Word brings me hope.
6I long for you more than any watchman
would long for the morning light.
I will watch and wait for you, O God,
throughout the night.
7O Israel, keep hoping, keep trusting,
and keep waiting on the Lord,
for he is tenderhearted, kind, and forgiving.
He has a thousand ways to set you free!
8He himself will redeem you;
he will ransom you from the cruel slavery of your sins!

1-2Help, God—I’ve hit rock bottom!
Master, hear my cry for help!
Listen hard! Open your ears!
Listen to my cries for mercy.
3-4If you, God, kept records on wrongdoings,
who would stand a chance?
As it turns out, forgiveness is your habit,
and that’s why you’re worshiped.
5-6I pray to God—my life a prayer—
and wait for what he’ll say and do.
My life’s on the line before God, my Lord,
waiting and watching till morning,
waiting and watching till morning.
7-8O Israel, wait and watch for God—
with God’s arrival comes love,
with God’s arrival comes generous redemption.
No doubt about it—he’ll redeem Israel,
buy back Israel from captivity to sin.
