Psalms 130:3
1 Out of the depths I cry to You, O LORD!
2 O Lord, hear my voice; let Your ears be attentive to my plea for mercy.
If You, O LORD, kept track of iniquities, then who, O Lord, could stand?
4 But with You there is forgiveness, so that You may be feared.
5 I wait for the LORD; my soul does wait, and in His word I put my hope.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
