Psalm 130

English Standard Version

My Soul Waits for the Lord

A Song of ^(A)Ascents.

130 Out of ^(B)the depths I cry to you, O Lord!
² O Lord, hear my voice!
^(C)Let your ears be attentive
to ^(D)the voice of my pleas for mercy!

³If you, O Lord, should ^(E)mark iniquities,
O Lord, who could ^(F)stand?
⁴But with you there is ^(G)forgiveness,
^(H)that you may be feared.

⁵I ^(I)wait for the Lord, ^(J)my soul waits,
    and ^(K)in his word I hope;
⁶my soul ^(L)waits for the Lord
    more than ^(M)watchmen for ^(N)the morning,
    more than watchmen for the morning.

⁷O Israel, ^(O)hope in the Lord!
    For ^(P)with the Lord there is steadfast love,
    and with him is plentiful redemption.
⁸And he will ^(Q)redeem Israel
    from all his iniquities.

Ezekiel 33:10-16

Why Will You Die, Israel?

¹⁰“And you, ^(A)son of man, say to the house of Israel, Thus have you said: ‘Surely our transgressions and our sins are upon us, and ^(B)we rot away because of them. ^(C)How then can we live?’ ¹¹Say to them, ^(D)As I live, declares the Lord God, ^(E)I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but that the wicked turn from his way and live; ^(F)turn back, turn back from your evil ways, ^(G)for why will you die, O house of Israel?

¹²^(H)“And you, son of man, say to ^(I)your people, ^(J)The righteousness of the righteous shall not deliver him when he transgresses, ^(K)and as for the wickedness of the wicked, he shall not fall by it when he turns from his wickedness, ^(L)and the righteous shall not be able to live by his righteousness^[a] when he sins. ¹³Though I say to the righteous that he shall surely live, yet ^(M)if he trusts in his righteousness and does injustice, none of his righteous deeds shall be remembered, but in his injustice that he has done he shall die. ¹⁴Again, ^(N)though I say to the wicked, ^(O)‘You shall surely die,’ yet ^(P)if he turns from his sin and does what is just and right, ¹⁵if the wicked ^(Q)restores the pledge, ^(R)gives back what he has taken by robbery, and walks ^(S)in the statutes of life, not doing injustice, he shall surely live; he shall not die. ¹⁶^(T)None of the sins that he has committed shall be remembered against him. He has done what is just and right; he shall surely live.

The Seventh Trumpet

¹⁵Then ^(A)the seventh angel blew his trumpet, and ^(B)there were loud voices in heaven, saying, ^(C)“The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of ^(D)his Christ, and ^(E)he shall reign forever and ever.” ¹⁶And the twenty-four elders ^(F)who sit on their thrones before God ^(G)fell on their faces and worshiped God, ¹⁷saying,

“We give thanks to you, Lord God Almighty,
    ^(H)who is and who was,
for you have taken your great power
    and ^(I)begun to reign.
¹⁸The nations raged,
    but ^(J)your wrath came,
    and ^(K)the time for the dead to be judged,
and for rewarding your servants, the prophets and saints,
    and ^(L)those who fear your name,
    both small and great,
and ^(M)for destroying the destroyers of the earth.”

¹⁹Then ^(N)God's temple in heaven was opened, and ^(O)the ark of his covenant was seen within his temple. There were flashes of lightning, rumblings,^[a] peals of thunder, an earthquake, and ^(P)heavy hail.
