Psalm 130 & 131

For you, my God, I wait

with hope born of the Word.

Like sleepless ones who long to dream

I wait and call my Lord.

Lord, hear my pleading voice,

and let me know you hear!

As sleepless ones feel rest approach,

I know my God is near.

If you should list my faults,

the sins of heart and hand,

like sleepless ones who groan at dawn

I know I could not stand!

For even from the deep

I know you hear my cries.

Like sleepless ones who dream at last,

I ease my weary eyes.

And once my soul is still,

in you I find my rest,

at peace as though a child upon

a gentle mother’s breast.

O God, you are my hope;

I know that you forgive.

Your love redeems me from the depths

so I may rise and live.
