Context of Psalms 130:5
3Lord, if you kept a record of our sins, who, O Lord, could ever survive? 4But you offer forgiveness, that we might learn to fear you. I am counting on the Lord; yes, I am counting on him. I have put my hope in his word. 6I long for the Lord more than sentries long for the dawn, yes, more than sentries long for the dawn. 7O Israel, hope in the Lord; for with the Lord there is unfailing love. His redemption overflows.
