I wait for the Lord as those who watch for the morning.

The Lord reveals Himself as one who pardons. |
|
| 1 ¶ <<A Song of
degrees.>> Out of the depths have I cried unto thee, O LORD.
2 Lord, hear my voice: let thine ears be attentive to the voice of my supplications. |
Out of the depths ps13001, ps04002, ps06903. |
| 3 If thou, LORD, shouldest
mark iniquities, O Lord, who shall stand?
4 But there is forgiveness with thee, that thou mayest be feared. |
Mark
iniquities Of course the Lord knows but He forgives those who
are sorry and seek Him and He removes the record of sin re0305.
Also jb1416, jb1014.
Who shall stand? See mal0302, re0617. Forgiveness ... feared It seems that we would fear Him if He didn't forgive. That would develop a fear as of one who desired to hurt his children. Being forgiven, however, inspires love and awesome respect. je3309, ez1662, 1pe0216. |
| 5 ¶ I wait for the LORD,
my soul doth wait, and in his word do I hope.
6 My soul waiteth for the Lord more than they that watch for the morning: I say, more than they that watch for the morning. |
Wait Patient expectation. ps02714. |
| 7 Let Israel hope in
the LORD: for with the LORD there is mercy, and with him is plenteous redemption.
8 And he shall redeem Israel from all his iniquities. |
Let
Israel hope A beautiful invitation for the community of the
faithful or in corporate worship.
Redeem Israel Here is God's promise to redeem all the faithful. It applies to spiritual Israel today – to those of every ethnic background who call up on Him. See on ro1126. |
