Out of the Depths

Psalm 130 is a beautiful psalm of a penitential believer who is in need of God's mercy. Not only is he/she fully assured that such will be granted, but the writer also exhorts his fellow believer's to wait for God's redemption, knowing that it will come because of the character of the LORD.
This Psalm, perhaps more than any other, is marked by its mountains: depth; prayer; conviction; light; hope; waiting; watching; longing; confidence; assurance; universal happiness and joy...Just as the barometer marks the rising of the weather, so does this Psalm, sentence by sentence, record the progress of the soul, rising from the depths of deep despair to the dawning reality that the LORD never stops loving or caring for us - for He is with us in all things.

"No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons,m neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, 39neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord." ROMANS 8:37-38
