詩篇 130:1-5 CUNPTS

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 130:4

But there is forgiveness with thee - Thou canst forgive; mercy belongs to thee, as well as judgment. The doctrine here is the doctrine of St. John: "If any man sin, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous; and he is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world." "Hear, O heavens, and give ear, O earth; for the Lord hath spoken!" Jesus has died for our sins; therefore God can be just, and yet the justifier of him who... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 130:5

I wait for the Lord - The word קוה kavah , which we translate to wait, properly signifies the extension of a cord from one point to another. This is a fine metaphor: God is one point, the human heart is the other; and the extended cord between both is the earnest believing desire of the soul. This desire, strongly extended from the heart to God, in every mean of grace, and when there is none, is the active, energetic waiting which God requires, and which will be successful. read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 130:1

Verse 1 1.Out of the deep places have I cried to thee, O Jehovah! It is to be noticed that the Prophet speaks of himself as sending forth his voice, as it were from out of a deep gulf, (118) feeling himself overwhelmed with calamities. As the miseries to which there is no prospect of a termination commonly bring despair in their train, nothing is more difficult than for persons, when involved in grievous and deep sorrow, to stir up their minds to the exercise of prayer. And it is wonderful,... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 130:3

Verse 3 3.If thou, O God! shoudst mark iniquities (119) Here the Prophet acknowledges that although grievously afflicted, he had justly deserved such punishment, as had been inflicted upon him. As by his own example he gives a rule which the whole Church ought to observe, let no man presume to intrude himself into the presence of God, but in the way of humbly deprecating his wrath; and especially when God exercises severity in his dealings towards us, let us know that we are required to make... read more

Verse 4 4.But with thee there is forgiveness. This verse leads us farther. Though all men confess with the mouth that there is no human being in the world whom God may not justly adjudge to everlasting death, should it so please him, yet how few are persuaded of the truth which the Prophet now adds, that the grace of which they stand in need shall not be denied them? They either sleep in their sins through stupidity, or fluctuate amidst a variety of doubts, and, at length, are overwhelmed with... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 130:5

Verse 5 5.I have waited for Jehovah. After having testified in general that God is ready to show mercy to poor sinners who betake themselves to him, the Psalmist concludes that he is thereby encouraged to entertain good hope. The past tense in the verbs wait and trust is put for the present. I have waited for I wait; I have hoped for I hope. The repetition occurring in the first part of the verse is emphatic; and the word soul gives additional emphasis, implying, as it does, that the Prophet... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 130:1

Out of the depths have I cried unto thee, O Lord (comp. Psalms 69:2 , Psalms 69:14 ; Isaiah 51:10 ; Ezekiel 27:34 ). "The depths" are the lowest abysses of calamity. They have not, however, separated Israel from God, but have rather brought him to God. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 130:1

The cry of the humbled. The psalm belongs to the age of true national contrition, when nothing would satisfy but deliverance from sin, as well as from its punishment (comp. Lamentations 3:55 ; Jonah 2:2 ). When men are disheartened and depressed, overwhelmed with anxieties and troubles, we familiarly speak of them as "down in the depths." It is a natural and universal figure. " On the hills" represents excitement and joy; "in the depths" represents depression and anxiety. "This psalm... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 130:1-8

Penitence and hope. We have the psalmist hero in— I. THE DEPTH OF SOME GREAT DISTRESS . It may be some severe loss he has sustained, and consequent loneliness of soul; or it may be some great disappointment of his hopes or defeat by the enemy; or it may be the persecution of those who reproach him for serious inconsistency; or it may be peril in which his cause or his life is threatened; or it may be a sad sense of personal unworthiness. Bat, whatever it may have been, it... read more
