Geneva Bible Translation NotesPsalms 130

Out of the {a} depths have I cried unto thee, O LORD.
(a) Being in great distress and sorrow.

If thou, LORD, shouldest mark iniquities, O Lord, {b} who shall stand?
(b) He declares that we cannot be just before God but by forgiveness of sins.

But [there is] forgiveness with thee, that thou {c} mayest be feared.
(c) Because by nature you are merciful therefore the faithful revere you.

Let Israel hope in the LORD: for with the LORD [there is] {d} mercy, and with him [is] plenteous redemption.
(d) He shows to whom the mercy of God belongs, that is, Israel, to the Church and not the reprobate.
