This week we hear a talk from. Rev. Jonathan Aitken on Psalm 130 as we as the church prepare for the start of lent season. Our reading today is taken from Psalm 130:1-8.

Psalm 130

A song of ascents.

1 Out of the depths I cry to you, Lord;

2     Lord, hear my voice.
Let your ears be attentive
    to my cry for mercy.

3 If you, Lord, kept a record of sins,
    Lord, who could stand?

4 But with you there is forgiveness,
    so that we can, with reverence, serve you.

5 I wait for the Lord, my whole being waits,
    and in his word I put my hope.

6 I wait for the Lord
    more than watchmen wait for the morning,
    more than watchmen wait for the morning.

7 Israel, put your hope in the Lord,
    for with the Lord is unfailing love
    and with him is full redemption.

8 He himself will redeem Israel
    from all their sins.
