1: Help, GOD-the bottom has fallen out of my life! Master, hear my cry for help!
2: Listen hard! Open your ears! Listen to my cries for mercy.
3: If you, GOD, kept records on wrongdoings, who would stand a chance?
4: As it turns out, forgiveness is your habit, and that's why you're worshiped.
5: I pray to GOD-my life a prayer--and wait for what he'll say and do.
6: My life's on the line before God, my Lord, waiting and watching till morning, waiting and watching till morning.
7: O Israel, wait and watch for GOD- with GOD's arrival comes love, with GOD's arrival comes generous redemption.
8: No doubt about it--he'll redeem Israel, buy back Israel from captivity to sin.
