Beginning with himself as a representative of the community, the psalmist cries for God’s mercy (130:1–3) out of deep distress.

Israel is invited to hope in the Lord (9:18; 27:14; 131:3) because the Lord pays the costly price for redemption and covers whatever sin separates humans from him (see also 111:9; Exod 6:6–8; 2 Sam 7:23–24; Isa 43:1–4; Titus 2:14; Heb 9:12; 1 Pet 1:18).
7O Israel, put your hope in the LORD,for with the LORD is loving devotion,and with Him is redemption in abundance.8And He will redeem Israelfrom all iniquity.
