Daily Bible GNT December 8 Verses

A Prayer for Help

Psalm 130 From the depths of my despair I call to you, LORD.

²Hear my cry, O Lord;

listen to my call for help!

³If you kept a record of our sins,

who could escape being condemned?

⁴But you forgive us,

so that we should stand in awe of you.

⁵I wait eagerly for the LORD's help,

and in his word I trust.

⁶I wait for the Lord

more eagerly than sentries wait for the dawn--

than sentries wait for the dawn.

⁷Israel, trust in the LORD,

because his love is constant

and he is always willing to save.

⁸He will save his people Israel

from all their sins.
