Psalm 130

Melody
  1. Out of the depths of sadness
    to you, O LORD, I cry.
    Bless me again with gladness
    and help me from on high.
    LORD, hear my supplication
    and listen to my plea.
    O Fount of consolation,
    with mercy comfort me.

  2. If, showing no compassion,
    you would our sins record
    and mark all our transgressions,
    who then could stand, O LORD?
    But you will pardon fully
    all our iniquity,
    that we may serve you truly
    and fear your majesty.

  3. O God of my salvation,
    my soul, with longing stirred,
    waits for your consolation,
    hopes in your steadfast word.
    More keenly I am yearning
    for you, O faithful One,
    than watchers for the morning
    await the break of dawn.

  4. Hope in the LORD, O nation!
    With him is steadfast love,
    and he with full salvation
    will bless you from above.
    The LORD will in compassion
    for Israel atone;
    yes, from all their transgression
    he will redeem his own.
