Introduction
The prayer of a penitent to God, with confession of sin, Psalm 130:1-3 . Confidence in God's mercy, and waiting upon him, Psalm 130:4-6 . Israel is encouraged to hope in the Lord, because of his willingness to save, Psalm 130:7 , Psalm 130:8 .
This Psalm has no title nor author's name, either in the Hebrew, or in any of the Versions; though the Syriac says it was spoken of Nehemiah the priest. It was most probably composed during the captivity; and contains the complaint of the afflicted Jews, with their hopes of the remission of those sins which were the cause of their sufferings, and their restoration from captivity to their own land. This is one of those called penitential Psalms.
