Psalm 130

Out of the depths I have cried to Thee, O LORD.
LORD, hear my voice!
Let Thine ears be attentive
To the voice of my supplications.
If Thou, LORD, shouldst mark iniquities,
O Lord, who could stand?
But there is forgiveness with Thee,
That Thou mayest be feared.

I wait for the LORD my soul does wait,
And in His LORD do I hope.
My soul waits for the LORD
More than the watchmen for the morning;
Indeed, more than the watchmen for the morning.
O Israel, hope in the LORD;
For with the LORD there is lovingkindness,
And with Him is abundant redemption.
And He will redeem Israel

From all his iniquities.

~Psalm 130 (NASB 1977)

Psalm 127

Unless the LORD builds the house,
They labor in vain who build it;
Unless the LORD guards the city,
The watchman keeps awake in vain.
It is vain for you to rise up early,
To retire late,
To eat the bread of painful labors;
For He gives to His beloved even in his sleep.

Behold, children are a gift of the LORD;
The fruit of the womb is a reward.
Like arrows in the hand of a warrior,
So are the children of one’s youth.
How blessed is the man whose quiver is full of them;
They shall not be ashamed,
When they speak with their enemies in the gate.

~Psalm 127 (NASB 1977)
