A Song of Ascents
PSALM 130 C.M.

1 LORD, from the depths to thee I cried.
2 My voice, Lord, do thou hear:
Unto my supplications’ voice
give an attentive ear.

3 Lord, who shall stand, if thou, O LORD,
should’st mark iniquity?
4 But yet with thee forgiveness is,
that fear’d thou mayest be.

5 I wait for GOD, my soul doth wait,
my hope is in his word.
6 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.
7 Let Israèl hope in the LORD,
for with him mercies be;

And plenteous redëmption
is ever found with him.
8 And from all his iniquities
he Isr’el shall redeem.
