Psalm 130 with #She Reads Truth

Psalm 130

(My own words are in parenthesis)

"Out of the depths I cry to you, O Lord;"

(Oh Lord, I'm in deep.  

I'm not sure I will be able to crawl out this time)

"O Lord, hear my voice.  

Let your ears be attentive

to my cry for mercy."

(Lord, can you hear me?  Oh please listen for my voice!)

"If you, O Lord, kept a record of sins,

O Lord, who could stand?

But with you there is forgiveness;

therefore you are feared."

(Thank goodness you don't write down every sin I commit!

If you did, it would be better for me to just lay down and give up.

You forgive, Lord, and I will forever honor you- thank you God!)

"I wait for the Lord, my soul waits,

and in his word I put my hope.

My soul waits for the Lord

more than watchmen wait for the morning,

more than watchmen wait for the morning."

(I will wait for you, Lord!!!  I know you will answer my 

cry and when you do, you will see that my hope is 

completely in you!  Without you, I am an empty, 

meaningless sinner.  I will wait for you forever 

and I will anticipate your coming!!!)

"O Israel, put your hope in the Lord,

for with the Lord is unfailing love

and with him is full redemption.

He himself will redeem Israel 

from all their sins."

(Friends, listen to me!!!  Give the Lord EVERYTHING 

you have- He will NEVER fail you!!!  He will rescue 

you from your muddy pit and wash you white as 

snow.  He will save us all and forgive us of 

every sin we have ever committed!

Hear our prayer, Lord!

Amen)#SheReadsTruth
