Psalms Chapter 130 Matthew Henry Commentary Concise

The psalmist's hope in prayer. (1-4)
His patience in hope. (5-8)

Verses 1-4 The only way of relief for a sin-entangled soul, is by applying to God alone. Many things present themselves as diversions, many things offer themselves as remedies, but the soul finds that the Lord alone can heal. And until men are sensible of the guilt of sin, and quit all to come at once to God, it is in vain for them to expect any relief. The Holy Ghost gives to such poor souls a fresh sense of their deep necessity, to stir them up in earnest applications, by the prayer of faith, by crying to God. And as they love their souls, as they are concerned for the glory of the Lord, they are not to be wanting in this duty. Why is it that these matters are so long uncertain with them? Is it not from sloth and despondency that they content themselves with common and customary applications to God? Then let us up and be doing; it must be done, and it is attended with safety. We are to humble ourselves before God, as guilty in his sight. Let us acknowledge our sinfulness; we cannot justify ourselves, or plead not guilty. It is our unspeakable comfort that there is forgiveness with him, for that is what we need. Jesus Christ is the great Ransom; he is ever an Advocate for us, and through him we hope to obtain forgiveness. There is forgiveness with thee, not that thou mayest be presumed upon, but that thou mayest be feared. The fear of God often is put for the whole worship of God. The only motive and encouragement for sinners is this, that there is forgiveness with the Lord.

  시130:1 여호와의 도움을 기다림
시 130:1 여호와여 내가 깊은 데서 주께 부르짖었나이다 
시 130:2 주여 내 소리를 들으시며 나의 간구하는 소리에 귀를 기울이소서 
시 130:3 여호와여 주께서 죄악을 감찰하실진대 주여 누가 서리이까 
시 130:4 그러나 사유하심이 주께 있음은 주를 경외케 하심이니이다 

Verses 5-8 It is for the Lord that my soul waits, for the gifts of his grace, and the working of his power. We must hope for that only which he has promised in his word. Like those who wish to see the dawn, being very desirous that light would come long before day; but still more earnestly does a good man long for the tokens of God's favour, and the visits of his grace. Let all that devote themselves to the Lord, cheerfully stay themselves on him. This redemption is redemption from all sin. Jesus Christ saves his people from their sins, both from the condemning and from the commanding power of sin. It is plenteous redemption; there is an all-sufficient fulness in the Redeemer, enough for all, enough for each; therefore enough for me, says the believer. Redemption from sin includes redemption from all other evils, therefore it is a plenteous redemption, through the atoning blood of Jesus, who shall redeem his people from all their sins. All that wait on God for mercy and grace, are sure to have peace.

 


시 130:5 나 곧 내 영혼이 여호와를 기다리며 내가 그 말씀을 바라는도다 

시 130:6 파숫군이 아침을 기다림보다 내 영혼이 주를 더 기다리나니 참으로 파숫군의 아침을 기다림보다 더하도다 

시 130:7 이스라엘아 여호와를 바랄지어다 여호와께는 인자하심과 풍성한 구속이 있음이라 

시 130:8 저가 이스라엘을 그 모든 죄악에서 구속하시리로다
