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. From depths I have called Thee, Jehovah.
2Lord, hearken to my voice, Thine ears are attentive to the voice of my supplications.
3If iniquities Thou dost observe, O Lord, who doth stand?
4But with Thee [is] forgiveness, that Thou mayest be feared.
5I hoped [for] Jehovah — hoped hath my soul, And for His word I have waited.
6My soul [is] for the Lord, More than those watching for morning, Watching for morning!
7Israel doth wait on Jehovah, For with Jehovah [is] kindness, And abundant with Him [is] redemption.
8And He doth redeem Israel from all his iniquities!
