Psalms 130 — FBV

A song for pilgrims going up to Jerusalem.

130Verse 1Lord, I cry out to you from the depths of my pain.^{+
Verse 2}Please listen to my cry, and pay attention to what I'm asking.
^{Verse 3}Lord, if you kept a list of sins, who could escape being condemned?
^{Verse 4}But you are forgiving so that we might respect you.
^{Verse 5}I'm waiting for the Lord, longingly waiting, for I trust in his word.
^{Verse 6}I long for the Lord to come, more than watchmen longing for the dawn to come, more than watchmen longing for the dawn to come.
^{Verse 7}Israel, put your hope in the Lord, for the Lord loves us with a trustworthy love and his salvation knows no limits.
^{Verse 8}He will save Israel from every sin.
