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 THE ASCENTS. I have called You from the depths, YHWH.
2Lord, listen to my voice, || Your ears are attentive to the voice of my supplications.
3If You observe iniquities, Lord YAH, who stands?
4But forgiveness [is] with You, that You may be feared.
5I hoped [for] YHWH—my soul has hoped, || And I have waited for His word.
6My soul [is] for the Lord, || More than those watching for morning, || Watching for morning!
7Israel waits on YHWH, || For kindness [is] with YHWH, || And redemption [is] abundant with Him.
8And He redeems Israel from all his iniquities!
