Psalms 130 ~ Listen and Read Along

Dramatized KJV
 JV McGee
After the backward look there would fittingly be an inward look as the worshipper approached the place of worship. This is always a disquieting look. There is no confession here of specific sins, but the cry is "out of the depths," and the figure suggests the singer's sense of deep need.

All this is background which flings into bright relief the confidence of the soul in The LORD as a pardoning and redeeming Lord. Some of the most beautiful things in the Psalms is this sense of "plenteous redemption," and the perfection of God's love as thus manifested. To mark iniquities would be to fill us with despair. To redeem from all iniquities is to inspire us with hope.
