Psalms
The Psalter is Israel’s hymnbook: lament, praise, thanksgiving, royal psalms, and wisdom. It trains the heart to speak to God in trouble and in joy, and it points ahead to the Messiah.
American Standard Version
Psalms 130
1A Song of Ascents. Out of the depths have I cried unto thee, O Jehovah. 2Lord, hear my voice: Let thine ears be attentive To the voice of my supplications. 3If thou, Jehovah, shouldest mark iniquities, O Lord, who could stand? 4But there is forgiveness with thee, That thou mayest be feared. 5I wait for Jehovah, my soul doth wait, And in his word do I hope. 6My soul [waiteth] for the Lord More than watchmen [wait] for the morning; [Yea, more than] watchmen for the morning. 7O Israel, hope in Jehovah; For with Jehovah there is lovingkindness, And with him is plenteous redemption. 8And he will redeem Israel From all his iniquities.
