John Gill
INTRODUCTION TO Psalms 130 A Song of degrees. This psalm is by some thought to have been written by David either when persecuted by Saul, and in great distress, and fearful he should perish by him; or else when in great distress of mind because of sin, after the affair of Bathsheba; and it is reckoned therefore among the penitential psalms. Though others think it was written by Ezra, or some...
John Gill
And he shall redeem Israel from all his iniquities. The Lord shall do it; in whom Israel is encouraged to hope; with whom grace and redemption were; or who was appointed to be the Redeemer. Redemption was then future, when these words were said, but certain, by the promise of God and agreement of Christ; and would be of the whole Israel, or elect of God; and that from "all" their iniquities,...
Matthew Henry
This psalm relates not to any temporal concern, either personal or public, but it is wholly taken up with the affairs of the soul.

They are without fault before the throne of God. I...

And he shall redeem Israel from all his iniquities. That is our worst slavery, our in-equities, our want of equity, our having acted unfairly to God and unfairly to man. He will redeem us from all that evil; yea, he has redeemed us by price, and he will redeem us by power. This exposition consisted of readings from PSALMS 129, 130, and 131.
Charles H. Spurgeon
Out of the depths have I cried unto thee, O LORD. Lord, hear my voice: let thine ears be attentive to the voice of my supplications. If thou Lord, shouldest mark iniquities, O Lord, who shall stand? But there is forgiveness with thee, that thou mayest be feared. I wait for the LORD, my soul doth wait, and in his word do I hope. My soul waiteth for the Lord more than they that watch for the...
