Chapter overview
Psalm 130 cries from profound guilt and need, yet forgiveness creates reverence rather than despair. The waiting soul watches more eagerly than sentries await morning, trusting steadfast love and abundant communal redemption.

1From the depths of despair, O Lord, I call for your help.
2Hear my cry, O Lord. Pay attention to my prayer.
3Lord, if you kept a record of our sins, who, O Lord, could ever survive?
4But you offer forgiveness, that we might learn to fear you.

7O Israel, hope in the Lord; for with the Lord there is unfailing love. His redemption overflows.
8He himself will redeem Israel from every kind of sin.
