Psalm 130

Due to the confessional nature of Psalm 130 it is classified as one of the seven penitential psalms. It reflects the deep concern of the psalmist for personal sin and his confidence in God’s willingness to forgive. In the last stanza the psalmist challenges Israel to trust God, that he will redeem them from their sins

I call to  you from the depth of despair
Please hear my earnest prayer;
Pay attention as I raise my voice for mercy
I need to know that you care.
 
If you, O Lord, kept track of sins
None before you could stand:
But you are willing to forgive
Be honored throughout the land.
 
I wait with eagerness for your help, O Lord
My hope is in your word;
As watchmen wait for the coming dawn
I wait till your voice I’ve heard.
 
O Israel, put her trust in Yahweh
For his unfailing love;
He will redeem us from our sins
Granting mercy from above.
