A song to sing as we climb.

I have great trouble

130 Lord, I am crying aloud to you
    because I have great trouble.
My Lord, please listen to me!
    I am asking you to be kind and help me.
Lord, if you should write down all our sins,
    nobody could stand as a righteous person.
But you forgive people for their sins,
    and so we give you honour.

I will wait for the Lord to help me.
    I trust him completely.
So I wait for him to do what he has promised.
I want my Lord to come and help me,
    more than a guard at night wants the morning to come.
Yes, I want my Lord to come quickly, even more than that.
Israel's people, trust the Lord to help you.
The Lord has faithful love for his people.
    He is always ready to save them.
He will save Israel's people from all their sins.

Psalm 130

A Song of Ascents.

From the depths I call on You, O Lord!
    O Lord, hear my voice;
let Your ears be attentive
    to the sound of my supplications.

If you, O Lord, should keep track of iniquities,
    O Lord, who shall stand?
For there is forgiveness with You,
    that You may be feared.

I wait for the Lord, with bated breath I wait;
    I long for His Word!
My soul waits for the Lord,
    more than watchmen for the morning,
    more than watchmen for the morning.

Let Israel wait for the Lord!
    For mercy is found with the Lord;
    with Him is great redemption.
He shall redeem Israel
    from all their iniquities.
