But with you there is forgiveness, so that we can, with reverence, serve you

Psalm 130:1-8

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.

Why?

If the Lord kept a record of sins, no one could stand. But with the forgiveness of the Lord, we can serve the Lord with reverence.

Do I really wait for the Lord? But I know that in God's word, I put my hope.

My God is full of unfailing love and I know with him is full redemption.

How?

Wait for the Lord, my whole being waits, and in his word, I put my hope.
