Psalm 130 expresses hope in God's forgiveness despite humanity's sins. It acknowledges that if God were to mark all our faults, none would survive. But with God there is mercy and redemption for our iniquities. The soul waits and longs for God, finding more comfort in Him than in anything else. Israel is called to rely on the Lord as the ultimate source of help.

Lord, hear my voice! O let your ears be attentive * To the voice of my pleading. If you, O Lord, should mark our guilt * Lord, who would survive. But with you is found forgiveness * For this we revere you. My soul is waiting for the Lord * I count on this word. My soul is longing for the Lord * More than watchman for daybreak. Let the watchman count on daybreak * And Israel on the Lord. Because with the Lord there is mercy * And fullness of redemption. Israel indeed he will redeem * From all its iniquity. Eternal rest grant unto them O Lord* And let the perpetual light shine upon them. V: From the gate of hell R: Deliver us from them, o Lord V: I believe that I will receive Your Promise R: Among the blessed V: Listen to my prayer, o Lord R: May You heed my cries V: The Lord be with you R: And with your spirit V: Let us Pray,
O Merciful God, You are willing to
save Your Flocks. We beg You, O Lord, Grant that our Carmelite brothers, our relatives and our benefactors who have passed away, Your blessings through Virgin Mary and all Saints, so that they could live in joy on the everlasting life through Christ, our Lord. Amen.
