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

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 130:1-8
De profundis. This psalm, whose date, authorship, and special reference no one certainly knows, nevertheless presents to us three marked stages in the experience of the writer of the psalm. I. IN THE DEPTHS . ( Psalms 130:1-3 .) Undoubtedly he knew what these were; and very deep depths they appear to have been. 1. His sad condition seems to have been brought about , not so much by any outward circumstances of his life , as by some inward spiritual distress . His... read more

A cry to God for the forgiveness of sin. I. THE PROFOUND MISERY WHICH THE CONSCIOUSNESS OF SIN PRODUCES . ( Psalms 130:1-3 .) "Out of the depths. If thou shouldest mark," etc; iniquities, other "depths" than the depths of poverty or bodily affliction. II. THE STRONGEST MOTIVE TO THE REVERENT FEAR OF GOD . ( Psalms 130:4 .)

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 130:3
If thou, Lord, shouldest mark iniquities . The Prayer-book paraphrase gives the true sense, "If thou, Lord, shouldest be extreme to mark what is done miss." If thou didst not "hide our transgressions" and "cover up" half our sins—then, O Lord, who shall stand ?. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 130:3
The fears of conscience. In pleading for her father's life before the first Napoleon, a poor girl said, "Sire, I do not ask for justice; I implore pardon." The inward sense of our sin will never permit us to make a claim for anything before God. His love of forgiving, and triumph over all hindrances in the way of forgiving, are our only pleas, and our only grounds of hope. The searching character of the Divine inspection is indicated in Psalms 139:1-24 , and in Hebrews 4:12 , Hebrews... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Psalms 130:1
Out of the depths - The word rendered “depths” is from a verb - עמק ‛âmaq - which means to be deep; then, to be unsearchable; then, to make deep; and it would apply to anything low, deep, or profound, as the ocean, a pit, or a valley. The word used here occurs elsewhere only in the following places: Psalms 69:2, Psalms 69:14, where it is rendered “deep,” applied to waters; and Isaiah 51:10; Ezekiel 27:34, where it is rendered “depths.” The word, as used here, would be applicable to deep... 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
