Psalms 130
The psalmist cries out to God from a place of desperation, acknowledging that if God were to mark iniquities, no one would be able to stand. However, the psalmist finds hope in God's forgiveness and mercy, and waits patiently for God's redemption. The psalmist's trust in God's word and promise of redemption is unwavering, and they encourage Israel to place their hope in God as well. Ultimately, the psalmist is confident that God will redeem Israel from all its iniquities.
1Out of the depths have I cried unto thee, O LORD.2Lord, hear my voice: let thine ears be attentive to the voice of my supplications.3If thou, LORD, shouldest mark iniquities, O Lord, who shall stand?4But there is forgiveness with thee, that thou mayest be feared.5I wait for the LORD, my soul doth wait, and in his word do I hope.6My soul waiteth for the Lord more than they that watch for the morning: I say, more than they that watch for the morning.7Let Israel hope in the LORD: for with the LORD there is mercy, and with him is plenteous redemption.8And he shall redeem Israel from all his iniquities.
