Waiting for Divine Redemption

A Song of Ascents.

¹Out of the depths I cry to you, O Lord.^(A)

Let your ears be attentive

Lord, who could stand?^(C)

so that you may be revered.^(D)

⁵I wait for the Lord; my soul waits,

    more than those who watch for the morning,
    more than those who watch for the morning.^(F)

⁷O Israel, hope in the Lord!
    For with the Lord there is steadfast love,
    and with him is great power to redeem.^(G)
⁸It is he who will redeem Israel
    from all its iniquities.^(H)

A Song of Ascents

A Prayer for Mercy

130 I cry to you from the depths, Lord,
²Lord, listen to my voice;
let your ears pay attention
    to what I ask of you!^[a]
³Lord,^[b] if you were to record iniquities,
    Lord, who could remain standing?
⁴But with you there is forgiveness,
    so that you may be feared.

⁵I wait for the Lord;
    my soul waits,
        and I will hope in his word.
⁶My soul looks to the Lord
    more than watchmen look for the morning—
        more, indeed, than^[c] watchmen for the morning.

⁷Israel, hope in the Lord!
    For with the Lord there is gracious love,
        along with abundant redemption.
⁸And he will redeem Israel
    from all its sins.
