130:1   (A song for worship.) From a sea of troubles I call out to you, LORD.

130:2   Won't you please listen as I beg for mercy?

130:3   If you kept record of our sins, no one could last long.

130:4   But you forgive us, and so we will worship you.

130:5   With all my heart, I am waiting, LORD, for you! I trust your promises.

130:6   I wait for you more eagerly than a soldier on guard duty waits for the dawn. Yes, I wait more eagerly than a soldier on guard duty waits for the dawn.

130:7   Israel, trust the LORD! He is always merciful, and he has the power to save you.

130:8   Israel, the LORD will save you from all of your sins.
