Psalm 130 — Lord From the Depths to Thee I Cried

C.M. (8.6.8.6) Tune: MARTYRDOM Psalm 130 Scottish Psalter (1650)

Psalm Text

Lord, from the depths to thee I cried.

My voice, Lord, do thou hear:

Unto my supplication's voice

Give an attentive ear.

Lord, who shall stand, if thou, O Lord,

Should'st mark iniquity?

But yet with thee forgiveness is,

That feared thou mayest be.

I wait for God, my soul doth wait,

My hope is in his word.

More than they that for morning watch,

My soul waits for the Lord;

I say, more than they that do watch

The morning light to see.

Let Israel hope in the Lord,

For with the Lord there is

Abundant lovingkindness; yea,

With him is plenteous

Redemption; and from all his sins

He Israel shall redeem.
