Psalm 130

This passage of scripture has been my anchor this past week and will continue to be my meditation.

Psalm 130
My Soul Waits for the Lord
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 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.

There is a beautiful song written from this text by Bob Kauflin called "Out of the Depths".

The CD is entitled "Psalms" and if you are interested you can check it out at sovereigngracemusic.org.

The entire song is amazing but the chores especially has been ringing in my ears and in my heart.

Chorus:
So more than watchmen for the morning
I will wait for you, my God
When my fears come with no warning
In Your Word I'll put my trust
And when the harvest time is over
And I still see no fruit
I will wait
I will wait
For you
