The Lord Will

Psalm 130:8

“And he shall redeem Israel from all his iniquities.”

KJV

Read in Psalm 130

Meaning

Verse 8 returns directly to the problem named in verse 3. The ending centers redemption from iniquity, showing that the psalm’s deepest resolution concerns guilt and restored relationship with God.

Read carefully

Read Psalm 130:8 inside its literary unit and the whole of Psalm 130; the verse does not support that overclaim.

Reflection

Let hope include freedom from patterns of wrongdoing, not merely relief from uncomfortable circumstances.
