Psalms 130

Trust God in times of trouble

1Lord, I am crying aloud to you because I have great trouble.

2My Lord, please listen to me! I am asking you to be kind and help me.

3Lord, if you should write down all our sins, nobody could stand as a righteous person.

4But you forgive people for their sins, and so we give you honour.

5I will wait for the Lord to help me. I trust him completely. So I wait for him to do what he has promised.

6I 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.

7Israel's people, trust the Lord to help you. The Lord has faithful love for his people. He is always ready to save them.

8He will save Israel's people from all their sins.
