Psalm 130
If you O Lord, mark iniquities, who can stand?
Out of the depths I cry to you, Lord; Lord, hear my voice!
May your ears be attentive
to my voice in supplication.
If you O Lord, mark iniquities, who can stand?
If you, O Lord, mark iniquities, Lord, who can stand?
But with you is forgiveness, that you may be revered.
If you O Lord, mark iniquities, who can stand?
I trust in the Lord,
my soul trusts in his word.
My soul waits for the Lord
more than sentinels for dawn. Let Israel wait for the Lord.
If you O Lord, mark iniquities, who can stand?
