Psalm 130
Douay-Rheims 1899
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.

1Lord, my heart is not exalted: nor are my eyes lofty. Neither have I walked in great matters, nor in wonderful things above me.
2If I was not humbly minded, but exalted my soul: As a child that is weaned is towards his mother, so reward in my soul.
3Let Israel hope in the Lord, from henceforth now and for ever.
