Salmi 130:2 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 130:2

Lord, hear my voice
His prayer, which was vocal: God is a God hearing prayer; sometimes his people think he does not hear them; but he always does, and in his own time answers; for to hear prayer with him is to answer it; which he does likewise in his own way as well as time; and not always in the way and at the time his people would have him;

let thine ears be attentive to the voice of my supplications;
his prayers put up in an humble suppliant manner, for grace and mercy; not pleading merit and righteousness: these he desires God would hearken to and hear, listen unto, bow and incline his ears, as he is sometimes said to do; which is a wonderful instance of his condescension.

Salmi 130:2 In-Context

1 Canto dei pellegrinaggi. O Eterno, io grido a te da luoghi profondi!
2 Signore, ascolta il mio grido; siano le tue orecchie attente alla voce delle mie supplicazioni!
3 O Eterno, se tu poni mente alle iniquità, Signore, chi potrà reggere?
4 Ma presso te v’è perdono affinché tu sia temuto.
5 Io aspetto l’Eterno, l’anima mia l’aspetta, ed io spero nella sua parola.
