Psalm 130
God rescues and forgives
I’m in trouble
Road trip song[1]
1 LORD, I’m in deep trouble,Way over my head.
2 I’m asking you for help.
Please listen to my prayers.
I’m begging for mercy.
3 LORD, if you kept a list of our sins,
Who could talk their way out of that?
4 But you reserve the right to forgive.
For that, you are highly respected.
Waiting for the Lord
5 I’m looking for the LORD.I’m waiting for him to get here.
6 I want to see the LORD coming
More than the night shift security guard
Wants to see dawn.
Absolutely,
More than the guard wants daylight.
7 Israel, wait for the LORD.
When he comes, he brings his incredible love,
And a desire to rescue his people.
8 He will rescue Israel
From the guilt of all her sins.
Notes
1130:1
The subtitle wasn’t part of the original psalm. Psalms 120-134 are called songs of ascent, possibly because Jewish pilgrims sang these songs while traveling up into the Judean hills to celebrate a Jewish holiday in Jerusalem.
