psalm-130:7

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Psalms 130:5-8

Here, I. The psalmist engages himself to trust in God and to wait for him, Ps. 130:5, 6. Observe, 1. His dependence upon God, expressed in a climax, it being a a song of degrees, or ascents: ?I wait for the Lord; from him I expect relief and comfort, believing it will come, longing till it does come, but patiently bearing the delay of it, and resolving to look for it from no other hand. My soul doth wait; I wait for him in sincerity, and not in profession only. I am an expectant, and it is for... read more

John Gill

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Psalms 130:7

Let Israel hope in the Lord ,.... The psalmist having himself hope in the Lord and in his word, through a view of forgiveness with him, exhorts and encourages others to do so likewise, even every Israelite indeed; and such may comfortably hope in him for salvation, which was designed, contrived, promised, and now wrought out for sinners, the chief of sinners, and to be had freely; and the Gospel declaration is, that whosoever believes in Christ shall be saved; as well as for the remission of... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 130:7

Let Israel hope in the Lord - This, to hope for salvation, is their duty and their interest. But what reason is there for this hope? A twofold reason: - 1. With the Lord there is mercy - החסד hachesed , That mercy, the fund, the essence of mercy. 2. And with him is plenteous redemption - פדות עמו והרבה veharabbah immo peduth ; and that abundant redemption, that to which there is none like, the Fountain of redemption, the Lamb of God which taketh away the sin of the world. The... read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 130:7

Verse 7 7.But let Israel hope in Jehovah. After having spoken of himself, and exhibited in his own person an example for all to follow, he now applies the doctrine to the whole body of the Church. It is to be noticed that the foundation upon which he would have the hope of all the godly to rest is the mercy of God, the source from which redemption springs. In the first clause he reminds them that although they bring with them no worth or merits of their own, it ought to suffice them that God is... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 130:1-8

Penitence and hope. We have the psalmist hero in— I. THE DEPTH OF SOME GREAT DISTRESS . It may be some severe loss he has sustained, and consequent loneliness of soul; or it may be some great disappointment of his hopes or defeat by the enemy; or it may be the persecution of those who reproach him for serious inconsistency; or it may be peril in which his cause or his life is threatened; or it may be a sad sense of personal unworthiness. Bat, whatever it may have been, it... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 130:1-8

De profundis. This psalm, whose date, authorship, and special reference no one certainly knows, nevertheless presents to us three marked stages in the experience of the writer of the psalm. I. IN THE DEPTHS . ( Psalms 130:1-3 .) Undoubtedly he knew what these were; and very deep depths they appear to have been. 1. His sad condition seems to have been brought about , not so much by any outward circumstances of his life , as by some inward spiritual distress . His... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 130:1-8

A cry to God for the forgiveness of sin. I. THE PROFOUND MISERY WHICH THE CONSCIOUSNESS OF SIN PRODUCES . ( Psalms 130:1-3 .) "Out of the depths. If thou shouldest mark," etc; iniquities, other "depths" than the depths of poverty or bodily affliction. II. THE STRONGEST MOTIVE TO THE REVERENT FEAR OF GOD . ( Psalms 130:4 .) "God freely forgives sin—not that men may think lightly of sin, but that they may magnify his grace and mercy in its... read more

Spence, H. D. M., etc.

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 130:7

Let Israel hope in the Lord ; or, "O Israel, hope in the Lord;" i . e . continue to hope, even though in the "depths" of calamity (see Psalms 130:1 ). For with the Lord there is mercy (see above, Psalms 130:4 , and the comment ad loc ). And with him is plenteous redemption (comp. Psalms 111:9 ). Enough and to spare for all (see Isaiah 55:1 ). read more

Spence, H. D. M., etc.

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 130:7

Plenteous redemption. The text declares that with the Lord there is this, and we observe— I. IT IS UNDOUBTEDLY TRUE . 1. The Scriptures affirm it . It is not alone the declaration of this Scripture, but of many more besides. 2. And experience , that of myriads of believers in all ages, attests the same truth. They will tell us with one accord that they have found it so. 3. And it is plenteous because it is redemption from all evil . 4. And it is... read more
