Psalm 130:3-4 (NIV)
If you, Lord, kept a record of sins,
    Lord, who could stand?
But with you there is forgiveness,
    so that we can, with reverence, serve you.

Psalm 129:1,2,4 (NIV)
“They have greatly oppressed me from my youth,”
    let Israel say;
“they have greatly oppressed me from my youth,
    but they have not gained the victory over me.
…
But the Lord is righteous;
    he has cut me free from the cords of the wicked.”
