Psalm 130
An ascending song.
From deep
within, my yearning call
Lord, I cry
out to Thee
O Lord
please hear my crying
Tune in your
ears to me
Has not my
ceaseless pleading
Reached up
to where you'd be?
I'm in the
depths of grieving
Have you not
heard from me?
Lord you are
full of mercy
So I can
call on Thee
If Thou
should number all my wrong
Lord, you'd
still be counting me.
Since none
stands clean before You
We all have
gone astray
But you
extend forgiveness
And with
that fear I'll pray.
Now for the
Lord I'm waiting
My soul
waits for His word
My hope in
waiting for Him still
Is only in
the Lord
More than
the guard who's watching
For dawn the
sky to light
My wait is
all my hoping
My Lord is
my delight.
Hope in the
Lord, O Israel
His love for
you is sure
His rescue
He has promised
Complete and
still much more.
Israel,
trust His great mercy
He gives
Himself to You
His offer of
forgiveness
From all the
evil that you do.
