Chapter overview
Psalm 130 cries from profound guilt and need, yet forgiveness creates reverence rather than despair. The waiting soul watches more eagerly than sentries await morning, trusting steadfast love and abundant communal redemption.
ForgivenessWaitingHopeRedemption
1Out of the depths have I cried unto thee, O Jehovah.
2Lord, hear my voice: Let thine ears be attentive To the voice of my supplications.
3If thou, Jehovah, shouldest mark iniquities, O Lord, who could stand?
4But there is forgiveness with thee, That thou mayest be feared.
5I wait for Jehovah, my soul doth wait, And in his word do I hope.
6My soul waiteth for the Lord More than watchmen wait for the morning; Yea, more than watchmen for the morning.
7O Israel, hope in Jehovah; For with Jehovah there is lovingkindness, And with him is plenteous redemption.
8And he will redeem Israel From all his iniquities.
