“Who are you waiting for?” Psalm 130 (antiphon: v. 7)
7
O Israel, hope in the Lord!
For with the Lord there is steadfast love,
and with him is plentiful redemption.
A Song of Ascents.
130
Out of the depths I cry to you, O Lord!
2
O Lord, hear my voice!
Let your ears be attentive
to the voice of my pleas for mercy!
3
If you, O Lord, should mark iniquities,
O Lord, who could stand?
4
But with you there is forgiveness,
that you may be feared.
5
I wait for the Lord, my soul waits,
and in his word I hope;
6
my soul waits for the Lord
more than watchmen for the morning,
more than watchmen for the morning.
7
O Israel, hope in the Lord!
For with the Lord there is steadfast love,
and with him is plentiful redemption.
8
And he will redeem Israel
from all his iniquities.
7
O Israel, hope in the Lord!
For with the Lord there is steadfast love,
and with him is plentiful redemption.
