Psalm 130

⁷During the days of Jesus’ earthly life, He offered up prayers and petitions with loud cries and tears to the One who could save Him from death, and He was heard because of His reverence.

⁷Deep calls to deep in the roar of Your waterfalls; all Your breakers and waves have rolled over me.

¹⁴Rescue me from the mire and do not let me sink; deliver me from my foes and out of the deep waters.

¹⁵Do not let the floods engulf me or the depths swallow me up; let not the Pit close its mouth over me.

²saying: “In my distress I called to the Lord, and He answered me. From the belly of Sheol I called for help, and You heard my voice.

³For You cast me into the deep, into the heart of the seas, and the current swirled about me; all Your breakers and waves swept over me.

²⁰Though You have shown me many troubles and misfortunes, You will revive me once again. Even from the depths of the earth You will bring me back up.

¹For the choirmaster. To the tune of “Lilies.” Of David. Save me, O God, for the waters are up to my neck.

²I have sunk into the miry depths, where there is no footing; I have drifted into deep waters, where the flood engulfs me.

⁴⁰Now, my God, may Your eyes be open and Your ears attentive to the prayer offered in this place.

¹⁷Incline Your ear, O Lord, and hear; open Your eyes, O Lord, and see. Listen to all the words that Sennacherib has sent to defy the living God.

¹¹O Lord, may Your ear be attentive to my prayer and to the prayers of Your servants who delight to revere Your name. Give Your servant success this day, I pray, and grant him mercy in the sight of this man.” (At that time I was the cupbearer to the king.)

¹For the choirmaster. With stringed instruments. Of David. Hear my cry, O God; attend to my prayer.

²From the ends of the earth I call out to You whenever my heart is faint. Lead me to the rock that is higher than I.

¹For the choirmaster. With stringed instruments. A Maskil of David. Listen to my prayer, O God, and do not ignore my plea.

²Attend to me and answer me. I am restless in my complaint, and distraught

⁶I say to the Lord, “You are my God.” Hear, O Lord, my cry for help.

²Do not bring Your servant into judgment, for no one alive is righteous before You.

⁷You alone are to be feared. When You are angry, who can stand before You?

²⁰Therefore no one will be justified in His sight by works of the law. For the law merely brings awareness of sin.

²¹But now, apart from the law, the righteousness of God has been revealed, as attested by the Law and the Prophets.

⁷When they continued to question Him, He straightened up and said to them, “Let him who is without sin among you be the first to cast a stone at her.”

⁸And again He bent down and wrote on the ground.

⁶Who can withstand His indignation? Who can endure His burning anger? His wrath is poured out like fire; even rocks are shattered before Him.

¹⁷For the great day of Their wrath has come, and who is able to withstand it?”

⁸And I will cleanse them from all the iniquity they have committed against Me, and will forgive all their sins of rebellion against Me.

⁹So this city will bring Me renown, joy, praise, and glory before all the nations of the earth, who will hear of all the good I do for it. They will tremble in awe because of all the goodness and prosperity that I will provide for it.

⁷Let the wicked man forsake his way and the unrighteous man his thoughts; let him return to the Lord, that He may have compassion, and to our God, for He will freely pardon.

⁵For You, O Lord, are kind and forgiving, rich in loving devotion to all who call on You.

⁹To the Lord our God belong compassion and forgiveness, even though we have rebelled against Him

³⁹be heard by You from heaven, Your dwelling place. And may You forgive and act, and repay each man according to all his ways, since You know his heart—for You alone know the hearts of all men—

⁴⁰so that they may fear You all the days they live in the land that You gave to our fathers.

¹⁹that God was reconciling the world to Himself in Christ, not counting men’s trespasses against them. And He has committed to us the message of reconciliation.

¹⁸Therefore the Lord longs to be gracious to you; therefore He rises to show you compassion, for the Lord is a just God. Blessed are all who wait for Him.

²⁰Our soul waits for the Lord; He is our help and our shield.

⁵Rest in God alone, O my soul, for my hope comes from Him.

⁸¹My soul faints for Your salvation; I wait for Your word.

¹⁷I will wait for the Lord, who is hiding His face from the house of Jacob. I will put my trust in Him.

¹⁴Wait patiently for the Lord; be strong and courageous. Wait patiently for the Lord!

⁶When I remember You on my bed, I think of You through the watches of the night.

¹⁴⁷I rise before dawn and cry for help; in Your word I have put my hope.

⁸Then the lookout shouted: “Day after day, my lord, I stand on the watchtower; night after night I stay at my post.

¹A song of ascents. Come, bless the Lord, all you servants of the Lord who serve by night in the house of the Lord!

²⁹Fearing that we would run aground on the rocks, they dropped four anchors from the stern and prayed for daybreak.

⁷In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of His grace

⁸that He lavished on us with all wisdom and understanding.

³He put a new song in my mouth, a hymn of praise to our God. Many will see and fear and put their trust in the Lord.

⁹And they sang a new song: “Worthy are You to take the scroll and open its seals, because You were slain, and by Your blood You purchased for God those from every tribe and tongue and people and nation.

¹⁵But You, O Lord, are a compassionate and gracious God, slow to anger, abounding in loving devotion and faithfulness.

⁵For You, O Lord, are kind and forgiving, rich in loving devotion to all who call on You.

¹My little children, I am writing these things to you so that you will not sin. But if anyone does sin, we have an advocate before the Father—Jesus Christ, the Righteous One.

²He Himself is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not only for ours but also for the sins of the whole world.

⁶⁸“Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel, because He has visited and redeemed His people.

¹⁴He gave Himself for us to redeem us from all lawlessness and to purify for Himself a people for His own possession, zealous for good deeds.

²¹She will give birth to a Son, and you are to give Him the name Jesus, because He will save His people from their sins.”

¹⁴For sin shall not be your master, because you are not under law, but under grace.

³He who forgives all your iniquities and heals all your diseases,

⁴who redeems your life from the Pit and crowns you with loving devotion and compassion,

⁵But you know that Christ appeared to take away sins, and in Him there is no sin.

⁶No one who remains in Him keeps on sinning. No one who continues to sin has seen Him or known Him.
