- 1A Song of degrees. Out of the depths have I cried unto thee, O LORD.
- 2Lord, hear my voice: let thine ears be attentive to the voice of my supplications.
- 3If thou, LORD, shouldest mark iniquities, O Lord, who shall stand?
- 4But there is forgiveness with thee, that thou mayest be feared.
- 5I wait for the LORD, my soul doth wait, and in his word do I hope.
- 6My soul waiteth for the Lord more than they that watch for the morning: I say, more than they that watch for the morning.
- 7Let Israel hope in the LORD: for with the LORD there is mercy, and with him is plenteous redemption.
- 8And he shall redeem Israel from all his iniquities.

The Dichotomy of Boldness & Humility
In “The Dichotomy of Boldness & Humility,” Pastor Dean Odle presents a Scripture-centered message about grace and mercy, pride and humility, salvation. Drawing especially from 1 Peter 5, Luke 18, Psalm 130, the teaching emphasizes that God’s grace forgives and also trains believers to leave sin and live in obedience. Odle connects that foundation with the conviction that spiritual pride blinds people to correction, while humility receives truth and depends on God.
