Opening the chapter…
God, I have great troubles, so I call out to you.
God, hear me while I call out to you to have mercy on me!
God, if you kept a record of the sins that we have committed, not one of us would escape from being condemned and punished!
But you forgive us, with the result that we have an awesome respect for you.
God has said that he would help me; I trust what he said, and I wait eagerly for him to do that.
I wait for God to help me more than watchmen wait for the morning to come; yes, I wait more eagerly than they do!
You, my fellow Israelites, confidently expect that God will bless us. He will bless us because he has mercy on us, and he is very willing to save us.
It is he who will save us Israelite people from being punished for all the sins that we have committed.
