Psalms130

Psalm 130 opens with a fervent cry to the LORD from a state of deep distress, seeking His attentive ear. The psalmist acknowledges that if the LORD were to strictly mark iniquities, no one could stand, but finds solace in God's forgiveness. This forgiveness is presented as the very reason God is to be feared and revered. The psalm concludes with an expression of patient hope in the LORD and His word, extending this hope to all Israel, for with God is abundant mercy and redemption from all iniquities.

A Cry from the Depths

1
A song of degrees. Out of the deepe places haue I called vnto thee, O Lord.
2
Lord, heare my voyce: let thine eares attend to the voyce of my prayers.

Forgiveness is the Foundation of Hope

3
If thou, O Lord, straightly markest iniquities, O Lord, who shall stand?
4
But mercie is with thee, that thou mayest be feared.

Waiting Patiently on God's Word

5
I haue waited on the Lord: my soule hath waited, and I haue trusted in his worde.
6
My soule waiteth on the Lord more then the morning watch watcheth for the morning.

Hope and Redemption for Israel

7
Let Israel waite on the Lord: for with the Lord is mercie, and with him is great redemption.
8
And he shall redeeme Israel from all his iniquities.
