Psalm 130:4
“But there is forgiveness with thee, that thou mayest be feared.”
KJV
Read in Psalm 130Meaning
Verse 4 provides the theological center of the psalm. Forgiveness answers the impossibility of verse 3 and produces reverence rather than casual indifference toward wrongdoing.
Read carefully
Read Psalm 130:4 inside its literary unit and the whole of Psalm 130; the verse does not support that overclaim.
Reflection
Receive forgiveness while still pursuing truth, repair, changed conduct, and appropriate accountability.
