SPECIAL NOTE:

[ I will again be working through the Scriptures from Genesis to Revelation. I will be adding links, resources, images, and the like, upgrading the former work-through which began with the 2013-10-12 posting which can be found, along with the full Genesis to Revelation postings, in the Archive Page. Postings will be at midnight Eastern Time, as I am able. However, no chapters will be skipped, even though a posting may be late. And all postings will be housed in the Archive Page. ]



     Explanation: In Psalm 130, the Psalmist cries out to the LORD for redemption from sin and receives assurances from the LORD for himself and for his nation, Israel.
     An Appeal to the LORD. The Psalmist cries to the LORD out of the depths of his guilt, asking the LORD to hear his supplications (1-2).
          Because the LORD Forgives. And he asks the LORD not to mark his iniquities since no one can stand the LORD's scrutiny. So he pleads for forgiveness because there is forgiveness with the LORD so that he might be feared (3-4).
     An Appeal to the LORD. He tells us that he waits for the LORD and hopes in him more than those who wait for the morning. And he encourages his fellow Israelites to hope in the LORD (5-7a).
          Because the LORD is Merciful and Redeems from Iniquities. We should hope in the LORD because he is merciful, because his redemption is plentiful, and because he will redeem Israel from all of their iniquities (7b-8).
                    NOTE. The structure presented above is based on The Literary Structure of the Old Testament, David A. Dorsey, 1999, p. 185. Today's Psalm has a synonymous parallelism (ideas in the Psalm match one another, sometimes in identical or nearly identical words).

RESOURCES

PLEASE NOTE: Use the resources on this and other sites thoughtfully, particularly the commentaries and encyclopedias. I have attempted to list conservative, scholarly resources. However, some providers use liberal or liberal-influenced commentaries such as the Cambridge Bible for Schools and Colleges (in Bible Hub). Such commentaries are undoubtedly included by the provider for the wealth of useful information and comments which they provide. By consulting several commentaries, it should be fairly easy to sort out the wheat from the chaff. If, however, you would like personal assistance, write to me at AD LIB ARTS EMAIL.

Psalm Detailed Outline

THE PSALTER:

(SONGS FOR COVENANT WORSHIP)
Deliverance from Sinners and from Sin

Nearly all the Psalms (except Psalm 90) were written during the 612 year period
from the time of David around 1016 B. C. to the close of the Canon in about 404 B. C.
Psalm 90, according to its superscription, was written by Moses; this may have been around 1406 B. C.

BOOK FIVE OF FIVE:
PSALMS 107-150.
1016 - 404 B.C. Israel
God Praised & Thanked for His Goodness


Psalm 130
The LORD forgives us and redeems us from our iniquities.


Map 1: Bible Nations | Map 2: Empire of David and Solomon Map 3: Kingdoms of Judah and Israel | Post Exile Chronology.


1 A Song of degrees. *


Out of the depths have I cried unto thee, O LORD.
2 Lord, hear my voice:
let thine ears be attentive to the voice of my supplications.


3 If thou, LORD, shouldest mark iniquities,
O Lord, who shall stand?
4 But there is forgiveness with thee,
that thou mayest be feared.


5 I wait for the LORD,
my soul doth wait,
and in his word do I hope.
6 My soul waiteth for the Lord
more than they that watch for the morning:
I say,
more than they that watch for the morning.
7 Let Israel hope in the LORD:

for with the LORD there is mercy,
and with him is plenteous redemption.
8 And he shall redeem Israel from all his iniquities.


* NOTE: On Opening and Closing Comments in the Psalms.
[Some commentators take the Psalm in Habakkuk 3 to be a standard model for the Psalms.
Habakkuk's Psalm begins with the name of the composer (Habakkuk) and a musical notation ("upon Shigionoth").
It closes with a dedication or a "send to" notice ("To the chief singer on my stringed instruments").
I have arranged similar material, where it is found in the Psalter, in accord with the model in Habakkuk.]
