Commentaries on Psalms 130:4
- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 4But there is forgiveness with thee - The Septuagint renders this ̔́ hilasmos propitiation, reconciliation; the Latin Vulgate “propitiatio,” propitiation.

- Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 4-6The good news comes in God’s readiness to forgive sinners. His grace encourages people to fear him and hope in him.Read the comment
