A song for pilgrims ascending to Jerusalem
“From the depths of despair, O Lord, I call for your help. Hear my cry, O Lord. Pay attention to my prayer.
Lord, if You kept a record of our sins, who, O Lord, could ever survive? But You offer forgiveness, that we might learn to fear You.
I am counting on the Lord; yes, I am counting on Him. I have put why hope in His word. I long for the Lord more than the sentries long of the dawn; yes, more than sentries long for the dawn.
O Israel, hope in the Lord; for with the Lord there is unfailing love. His redemption overflows. He Himself will redeem Israel form every kind of sin.”
