Psalms 130:1. Out of the depths have I cried unto thee, O LORD.
The most eminent of God’s saints have been in the depths; wherefore, then, should I murmur if I have to endure trials? What am I that I should be exempt from warfare? How can I expect to win the crown without first carrying the cross? David saw the depths, and so must you and I. But David learned to cry to God out of the depths. Learn hence that there is no place so deep but prayer can reach from the bottom of it up to God’s ear, and then God’s long arm can reach to the bottom and bring us up. out of the depth. "Out of the depths have I cried unto thee, O Lord." Do not say, "Out of the depths have I talked to my neighbours, and sought consolation from my friends."
"Were half the breath thus vainly spent, To heaven in supplication sent,
Your cheerful song would often be Hear what the Lord hath done for me."
