PSALM 130
Out of the depths I cry to you, O Lord; Lord, hear my voice. Let your ears be attentive to the voice of my supplication. If you, O Lord, should mark our sinfulness: Lord, who can keep up to it? For with you there is mercy, so that we can, with reverence, serve you.
I trust in the Lord, my soul trusts in his word. My soul waits for his word: my soul hopes in the Lord, more than a watchman waits for dawn: let Israel hope in the Lord. For with the Lord there is mercy: and with Him is generous redemption. And He shall redeem Israel from all their sinfulness.
