Psalms 130:1-6
112From the deep water I cry out to you, O Lord.
2O Lord, listen to me! Pay attention to my plea for mercy!
3If you, O Lord, were to keep track of sins, O Lord, who could stand before you?
4But you are willing to forgive, so that you might be honored.
5I rely on the Lord, I rely on him with my whole being; I wait for his assuring word.
6I yearn for the Lord, more than watchmen do for the morning, yes, more than watchmen do for the morning.
Notes
- 1. Psalms 130:1 Psalm 130. The psalmist, confident of the Lord’s forgiveness, cries out to the Lord for help in the midst of his suffering and urges Israel to do the same. ↩
- 2. Psalms 130:1 The precise significance of this title, which appears in Pss 120-134, is unclear. Perhaps worshipers recited these psalms when they ascended the road to Jerusalem to celebrate annual religious festivals. For a discussion of their background see L. C. Allen, Psalms 101-150 (WBC), 219-21. ↩
