(A song for worship.)

Trusting the LORD in times of trouble

1From a sea of troubles

I call out to you, LORD.

2Won't you please listen

as I beg for mercy?

3If you kept record of our sins,

no one could last long.

4But you forgive us,

and so we will worship you.

5With all my heart,

I am waiting, LORD, for you!

I trust your promises.

6I wait for you more eagerly

than a soldier on guard duty

waits for the dawn.

Yes, I wait more eagerly

than a soldier on guard duty

waits for the dawn.

7Israel, trust the LORD!

He is always merciful,

and he has the power

to save you.

8Israel, the LORD will save you130.8: Mt 1.21; Titus 2.14.

from all your sins.
