Psalm 130
A song of ascents.
1 Out of the depths I cry to you, O LORD; 2 O Lord, hear my voice.
Let your ears be attentive
to my cry for mercy.
Let your ears be attentive
to my cry for mercy.
3 If you, O LORD, kept a record of sins,
O Lord, who could stand?
O Lord, who could stand?
4 But with you there is forgiveness;
therefore you are feared.
therefore you are feared.
5 I wait for the LORD, my soul waits,
and in his word I put my hope.
and in his word I put my hope.
6 My soul waits for the Lord
more than watchmen wait for the morning,
more than watchmen wait for the morning.
more than watchmen wait for the morning,
more than watchmen wait for the morning.
7 O Israel, put your hope in the LORD,
for with the LORD is unfailing love
and with him is full redemption.
for with the LORD is unfailing love
and with him is full redemption.
8 He himself will redeem Israel
from all their sins.
from all their sins.
I love how it says in his word I put my hope.
The crazy thing is that God the night of Feb 8, 2010 gave me Psalm 131 when I was going through a really tough time and Dani and I had taken some time away from each other to think about things. After I read Psalm 131:3 and replaced the word Israel and put my own name there I stopped crying.
Psalm 131
A song of ascents. Of David.
1 My heart is not proud, O LORD,
my eyes are not haughty;
I do not concern myself with great matters
or things too wonderful for me.
my eyes are not haughty;
I do not concern myself with great matters
or things too wonderful for me.
2 But I have stilled and quieted my soul;
like a weaned child with its mother,
like a weaned child is my soul within me.
like a weaned child with its mother,
like a weaned child is my soul within me.
3 O Israel (my name), put your hope in the LORD
both now and forevermore.
both now and forevermore.
