Psalms 130

Psalms 130 — John Wesley

130:1–2

The blessing - Which was an usual salutation given by passengers to reapers: so the meaning is, it never continues 'till the harvest comes.

130:3

Mark - Observe them accurately and punish them as they deserve. Stand - At thy tribunal.

130:4

Forgiveness - Thou art able and ready to forgive repenting sinners. Feared - Not with a slavish, but with a childlike fear. This mercy of thine is the foundation of all religion, without which men would desperately proceed in their impious courses.

130:5

I wait - That he would pardon my sins.

130:6

They - Whether soldiers that keep the night - watches in an army, or the priests or Levites who did so in the temple.

130:7

Israel - Every true Israelite. Plenteous - Abundantly sufficient for all persons who accept it upon God's terms.
