Bible: Ps. 130:3-8; 143:2

130:3 If you, O Lord, were to keep track of 1  sins,

O Lord, who could stand before you? 2 

130:4 But 3  you are willing to forgive, 4 

so that you might 5  be honored. 6 

130:5 I rely on 7  the Lord,

I rely on him with my whole being; 8 

I wait for his assuring word. 9 

130:6 I yearn for the Lord, 10 

more than watchmen do for the morning,

yes, more than watchmen do for the morning. 11 

130:7 O Israel, hope in the Lord,

for the Lord exhibits loyal love, 12 

and is more than willing to deliver. 13 

130:8 He will deliver 14  Israel

from all the consequences of their sins. 15 

1:2 Now 1  the earth 2  was without shape and empty, 3  and darkness 4  was over the surface of the watery deep, 5  but the Spirit of God 6  was moving 7  over the surface 8  of the water. 9
