Context of Psalms 130:4
2Lord, hear my voice! Let Your ears be attentive to the sound of my supplications. 3If You, Adonai, kept a record of iniquities— my Lord, who could stand? For with You there is forgiveness, so You may be revered. 5I wait for Adonai, my soul waits, and in His word I hope. 6My soul waits for my Lord, more than watchmen for the morning, watchmen for the morning.
