Psalm 130

Psalm 130

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 my cry for mercy.

3 If you, O LORD, kept a record of sins,
O Lord, who could stand?

4 But with you there is forgiveness;
therefore you are feared.

5 I wait for the LORD, my soul waits,
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 unfailing love
and with him is full redemption.

8 He himself will redeem Israel
from all their sins.

Eunice: vs4 makes me wonder, if i fear the Lord cos i am afraid of the wages of sin, or do I fear Him, for his reverence on my life.. If its for the former, Lord, forgive me... if I have taken your grace and mercy for granted. This that you gave to us so freely, I will treasure it all my life.. Amen! Happy Friday!

Chin Ling: Yes Lord, thank you for saving me and forgiving me. What you did on the cross has surely reminded me of your power and your sacrifice. Let me wait for you and put my trust fully in you. My prayer is that my waiting and my trusting would be one that is more intense than as the watchmen wait for the morning. My full dependence is on you.

Pam: v3 & 4 - My God has a big n forgiving heart.... Lord.. show me my sins daily... teach me to forgive daily as well.

Crow: I don't know how to respond to this psalm.... Unlike the psalmist, I don't wait for the Lord so much. I don't know.... I really feel so silenced when i read this psalm. I don't know lah. haha.

Anyway, just a personal song:

Forgiven

I’m sorry that I’ve hurt You
With the things that I do
All the time I thought I knew
I’m but a fool

I’m sorry that I made You sad
Running from Your will
Took Your grace for granted
And Your love for a ride

Estranged from Your presence
Cast from Your sight
Abandon me no more O Lord
I’m crying inside
Please forgive me

I will wait for You Lord
My soul waits
In Your Word my hope resides
I’ll wait for You
Just to hear
I’m forgiven

Lord I know Your love for me
Is higher than the skies
In Your Word my hope resides
I know for sure
I’m forgiven
I’m forgiven

Aileen: been really busy the whole day, and i realised i didn't take time like the psalmist to wait upon the lord!! tsk tsk.. haha gentle reminder from the one above

Dellia: Lord, teach me patience to wait for You. That I will not act on my own, but to wait for You.
