Psalm 130
Brenton Septuagint Translation
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
1A Song of Degrees. O Lord, my heart is not exalted, neither have mine eyes been haughtily raised: neither have I exercised myself in great matters, nor in things too wonderful for me.
2I shall have sinned if I have not been humble, but have exalted my soul: according to the relation of a weaned child to his mother, so wilt thou recompense my soul.
3Let Israel hope in the Lord, from henceforth and for ever.
