Psalms 130:5

Waiting on GodHopeGod's word

3 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.

I wait for the LORD; my soul does wait, and in His word I put my hope.

6 My soul waits for the Lord more than watchmen wait for the morning— more than watchmen wait for the morning.

7 O Israel, put your hope in the LORD, for with the LORD is loving devotion, and with Him is redemption in abundance.
