Psalm 130 – Out of the depths of sadness – (Sung in In Metrical Verse)

“PSALM 130 The psalm is a complaint of a special kind, for the author does not ask for the destruction of the enemy but meekly turns to God for forgiveness of his own sins. The psalm falls into four strophes (Introduction to Hebrew Poetry): vv. 1, 2 (cry for help), vv. 3, 4 (prayer for forgiveness), vv. 4, 5 (hope for divine intervention), and vv. 7, 8 (encouragement of others).”
