Psalm 130 (Martyrdom)

1 Lord, from the depths to thee I cry’d.
2 My voice, Lord, do thou hear:
Unto my supplications’ voice
give an attentive ear.

3 Lord, who shall stand, if thou, O Lord,
should’st mark iniquity?
4 But yet with thee forgiveness is,
that fear’d thou mayest be.

5 I wait for God, my soul doth wait,
my hope is in his word.
6 More than they that for morning watch,
my soul waits for the Lord;

I say, more than they that do watch
the morning light to see.
7 Let Israel hope in the Lord,
for with him mercies be;

And plenteous redemption
is ever found with him.
8 And from all his iniquities
he Isr’el shall redeem.
