Psalm 130
Darby Translation · 8 verses
A Song of degrees.
1Out of the depths do I call upon thee, Jehovah.2Lord, hear my voice; let thine ears be attentive to the voice of my supplication.3If thou, Jah, shouldest mark iniquities, Lord, who shall 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 the watchers [wait] for the morning, [more than] the watchers for the morning.7Let Israel hope in Jehovah, because with Jehovah there is loving-kindness, and with him is plenteous redemption;8And he will redeem Israel from all his iniquities.Darby's Synopsis
Psalm 130 takes up another subject, of the place of which we have found clear traces before — the sins of Israel as between the people and God. It is not, however, now merely legal distress. Confidence in Jehovah characterises it, though accompanied by depth of distress and humiliation. This is the effect of the connection of the sense of sin and of mercy in the soul.
