These psalms, sung to “The Quiet Land of Erin,” share hope in a forgiving God who is with us always, even when we are in the depths.

 

From the Depths (Psalms 130, 131)

Tune: The Quiet Land of Erin

From the depths I cry to you, O God
Lord, listen to my voice
From the depths I cry to you, O God
Please listen to my prayer

For if you should mark iniquity
O Lord, who could stand?
But with God, forgiveness can be found

I wait in stillness for the Lord
And in God’s word do I hope
More than those who watch for morning’s light
More than those who watch for morning’s light

Trust in God, you people, Israel
Who redeems you from sin
For with God, forgiveness can be found

My heart’s not lifted up, O Lord
Nor my eyes raised too high
I do not think on things too great
I have calmed and quieted my soul

Like a child with mother quieted
My soul is at rest
For with God, forgiveness can be found
