Today, we’re praying through Psalm 130. Many of the psalms carry tones that resonate with the advent theme of waiting on God, and make wonderful companions for prayer!

Psalm 130

Out of the depths I cry to you, O LORD.

Lord, hear my voice!
Let your ears be attentive

to the voice of my supplications!  

If you, O LORD, should mark iniquities,
Lord, who could stand?

But there is forgiveness with you,

so that you may be revered.  

I wait for the LORD, my soul waits,

and in his word I hope;

my soul waits for the Lord

more than those who watch for the morning,

more than those who watch for the morning.  

O Israel, hope in the LORD!

For with the LORD there is steadfast love,
and with him is great power to redeem.

It is he who will redeem Israel from all its iniquities.

(New Revised Standard Version)
