Psalm 130

Psalm 130

Out of the depths I cry to you, Lord;

     Lord, hear my voice.

Let your ears be attentive

    to my cry for mercy.

If you, Lord, kept a record of sins,

    Lord, who could stand?

But with you there is forgiveness,

    so that we can, with reverence, serve you.

I wait for the Lord, my whole being waits,

    and in his word I put my hope.

I wait for the Lord

    more than watchmen wait for the morning,

    more than watchmen wait for the morning.

Israel, put your hope in the Lord,

    for with the Lord is unfailing love

    and with him is full redemption.

He himself will redeem Israel

    from all their sins.

He is our Lord and Savior. He forgives our sins. 

When we revere Him, we are able to serve Him. When He forgives us, He sets us free. He frees us to love and serve others just as He first loved and served us.

He is our redeemer. 

As we wait on His rescue, as we wait on His new mercies, let us be hopeful. Let us be at peace. For surely though we wait for the Lord, He is never very far. He is with us. He forgives us and watches over us.

We always have hope because we always have Him.

Let us be still and wait. 

Because He will redeem us and lead us in the way everlasting.

"The Lord is good to those who wait for him, to the soul who seeks him." Lamentations 3:25
