PSALM 130
As you ponder this psalm, see yourself in four different situations, and learn what it means to trust the mercy of the Lord.
In the depths (1–2). The depths of despair overwhelm you. You are drowning, and all you can do is cry out to God. He hears—and He rescues you!
In the court (3–4). You are on trial, facing your sins, and you have no defense. The Judge pays the penalty, and you are forgiven!
In the dark (5–6). You are waiting patiently, yet it seems morning will never come. But the sun rises, and God gives you the dawning of a new day!
On the block (7–8). You are a slave, bound by your own sins, and you are about to sell yourself to a terrible master. But the Savior comes and purchases you and sets you free!
What a wonderful salvation you have!
