Psalm 130 A song of ascents.

1 Out of the depths I cry to you, Lord;
2     Lord, hear my voice.
Let your ears be attentive
    to my cry for mercy.

3 If you, Lord, kept a record of sins,
    Lord, who could stand?
4 But with you there is forgiveness,
    so that we can, with reverence, serve you.

5 I wait for the Lord, my whole being waits,
    and in his word I put my hope.
6 I wait for the Lord
    more than watchmen wait for the morning,
    more than watchmen wait for the morning.

7 Israel, put your hope in the Lord,
    for with the Lord is unfailing love
    and with him is full redemption.
8 He himself will redeem Israel
    from all their sins.

1. May your time in the depths lead you to God not away from him (vv. 1–2).
   
   
2. May your time in the depths lead you to repentance, forgiveness, and cleansing (vv. 3–4).
   
   
3. May your time in the depths lead you to wait with great anticipation for God and his deliverance (vv. 5–6).
   
   
4. May your time in the depths lead you to put your hope and trust in God alone (vv. 7–8).

Main Idea: In the darkest and most difficult times of life, we must patiently trust in God, who hears, forgives, rescues, and redeems.
