My soul waits for the Lord

Psalm 130:1-8
O Lord, if you kept a record of sins, who could stand? But with you there is forgiveness; therefore you are feared.
I wait for the Lord, my soul waits, and in his word I put my hope. My soul waits for the Lord more than watchmen wait for the morning.
Put your hope in the Lord, for with the Lord is unfailing love and with him is full redemption.
This is a 'repenting' psalm. Praying, hoping, waiting for God's help, the psalmist's attitude is one of eager trust. He implores Israel to trust as he does, for the Lord will save his people from the mess their sins have brought them to.
Why?
No one can stand before the Lord if God record of sins.
Wait for the Lord my soul waits, for God has his plan and time, God is full of mercy and unfailing love. God's way is higher than we know.
Put my hope in the Lord is the only way of redemption.
How?
Trust and put hope in word of the Lord! Keep my heart being clear and hope in the Lord!
