Psalm 130 (NKJV)

Waiting for the Redemption of the LORD

A Song of Ascents.

1 Out of the depths I have cried to You, O LORD;
2 Lord, hear my voice!
Let Your ears be attentive
To the voice of my supplications.

3 If You, LORD, should mark iniquities,
O Lord, who could stand?
4 But there is forgiveness with You,
That You may be feared.

• Lord, I am in the deepest moment of my life, and I cry out to You with all my heart.
• Hear me, Lord, for I need Your help.
• Please open Your ears to my cry, and let my voice resonate in Your thoughts.
• I know I do not deserve Your answer, for I am sinful.
• No one deserves Your attention, no one!
• Extend Your mercy to me and allow me for be forgiven.
• I fear You and I will be in awe of You at all times in response to Your grace and mercy.

5 I wait for the LORD, my soul waits,
And in His word I do hope.
6 My soul waits for the Lord
More than those who watch for the morning—
Yes, more than those who watch for the morning.

7 O Israel, hope in the LORD;
For with the LORD there is mercy,
And with Him is abundant redemption.
8 And He shall redeem Israel
From all his iniquities.

• I wait for You, O LORD. I will sit and wait for You, hoping in You and believing in You.
• My soul is in limbo, anxiously awaiting the sound of Your voice, or a view of Your hand reaching to me.
• Those who lie awake all night waiting for the sunrise do not understand my patience, or lack thereof.
• I wish everyone would believe in the Lord, knowing His faithfulness, expecting His response.
• He is a merciful God and His grace is abundant.
• Redeem us, Lord, and show us Your lovingkindness.
• Cleanse us from our sins and remove our iniquities.
• Your grace is all that saves us. We thank You for Your grace!
