Psalms 130 — full chapter (King James Version)
Out of the depths have I cried unto thee, O LORD. Lord, hear my voice: let thine ears be attentive to the voice of my supplications. If thou, LORD, shouldest iniquities, O Lord, who shall stand? But there is with thee, that thou mayest be feared. I wait for the LORD, my soul doth wait, and in his word do I hope. My soul waiteth for the Lord more than they that watch for the morning: I say, more than they that watch for the morning. Let hope in the LORD: for with the LORD there is , and with him is plenteous . And he shall redeem from all his iniquities.
