Ps 130&131

Oh, Lord, you hear my voice. Your ears are attentive to my pleas for mercy. With you, father, there is forgiveness that I may fear you; that I may take my salvation very seriously. I wait for you, Lord.  My soul waits for you, Lord, and in your word I take hope.  I hope in you, Lord.  With you there is steadfast love; with you there is plentiful redemption. You redeemed me from all my iniquities.

Father, I am not proud. My eyes are not raised too high. I do not occupy myself with things too great and too marvelous for me.  Like a child with its mother my soul is calmed and quieted within me. I recognize my complete dependence on you, God, my heavenly father. My peace is you, father. My hope is in you, father, from this time forth and forever more.
