In Psalm 130 Israel's deep dye of sin, brought under consideration in a number of the psalms which have been before us, is again the theme. Here mercy is counted upon (verse 3 and 4); there is forgiveness with Jehovah, and the soul in confidence will wait for Him as for no other hoped for object. Have you ever spent the night in anxiety, and longed for the morning's first rays to chase the gloom away? (Verse 6).
This beautiful psalm links together in our Saviour God forgiveness, loving kindness (or mercy), plenteous redemption (ransom), and an unchangeable purpose to bless His people.
