Road Songs: The Gospel in Four Words
Psalm 130

 1 Out of the depths I cry to you, O Lord!  2 O Lord, hear my voice! Let your ears be attentive to the voice of my pleas for mercy!  3 If you, O Lord, should mark iniquities, O Lord, who could stand? 4 But with you there is forgiveness, that you may be feared.  5 I wait for the Lord, my soul waits, and in his word I hope; 6 my soul waits for the Lord more than watchmen for the morning, more than watchmen for the morning.  7 O Israel, hope in the Lord!  For with the Lord there is steadfast love, and with him is plentiful redemption.  8 And he will redeem Israel from all his iniquities. – Psalm 130:1-8 (ESV)
