Psalm 130:1-7

Listen to Psalm 130:1-7
1 Ein Stufenlied. Aus den Tiefen rufe ich zu dir, Jehova!
2 Herr, höre auf meine Stimme! Laß deine Ohren aufmerksam sein auf die Stimme meines Flehens!
3 Wenn du, Jehova, merkst auf die Ungerechtigkeiten: Herr, wer wird bestehen?
4 Doch bei dir ist Vergebung, damit du gefürchtet werdest.
5 Ich warte auf Jehova, meine Seele wartet; und auf sein Wort harre ich.
6 Meine Seele harrt auf den Herrn, mehr als die Wächter auf den Morgen, die Wächter auf den Morgen.
7 Harre, Israel, auf Jehova! Denn bei Jehova ist die Güte, und viel Erlösung bei ihm.

Psalm 130:1-7 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO PSALM 130

\\<>\\. This psalm is by some thought to have been written by David either when persecuted by Saul, and in great distress, and fearful he should perish by him; or else when in great distress of mind because of sin, after the affair of Bathsheba; and it is reckoned therefore among the penitential psalms. Though others think it was written by Ezra, or some other godly person in the captivity; and Aben Ezra and R. Obadiah interpret it of Israel in captivity. The Syriac inscription is, ``one of the psalms of ascension: it is said concerning Nehemiah the priest (or rather the prince or governor, since Nehemiah was no priest); and it intimates in it the prayer of the martyrs.'' It may be applied to any person in distress, outward or inward; applying to God for help and deliverance, for pardoning grace and mercy; encouraging himself and others to hope for it.
