Text · Psalm 130

Lord, from the Depths to Thee I Cried

Lord, from the depths to thee I cried

from the Scottish Psalter, 1650 · 8.6.8.6

1.Lord, from the depths to thee I cried.
My voice, Lord, do thou hear:
Unto my supplications' voice
give an attentive ear.

2.Lord, who shall stand, if thou, O Lord,
should'st mark iniquity?
But yet with thee forgiveness is,
that fear'd thou mayest be.

3.I wait for God, my soul doth wait,
my hope is in his word.
More than they that for morning watch,
my soul waits for the Lord;

4.I say, more than they that do watch
the morning light to see.
Let Israel hope in the Lord,
for with him mercies be;

5.And plenteous redemption
is ever found with him.
And from all his iniquities
he Isr'el shall redeem.
