Out of the Depths
A Song of Ascents.
130 1 Out of the depths I cry to you, my Father.
2 Sovereign Father, hear my voice; listen closely to my pleas for mercy.
3 If you, my Father, kept a record of sins, Sovereign Father, who could stand? 4 But with you there is forgiveness, so that you may be feared.
5 I wait for my Father; my soul waits, and in his word I put my hope. 6 My soul waits for the Sovereign Father more than watchmen wait for the morning, more than watchmen for the morning.
7 Israel, put your hope in our Father, for with our Father is covenant love, and with him is abundant redemption. 8 And he himself will redeem Israel from all his sins. a a v8 The Father's promise to redeem his people from all their sins is fulfilled in Jesus, who was named to save his people from their sins.
