But there is forgiveness with thee, that thou mayest be feared.
Consider the Psalmist’s predicament.
Psalms 130:1 (KJV)
A Song of degrees. Out of the depths have I cried unto thee, O LORD.
Whatever was the circumstance, he was desperate. He was in the depths of despair. His Prayers not only must reach heaven, but they also must escape the pit before they can make it past the ceiling.
Psalms 130:2 (KJV)
Lord, hear my voice: let thine ears be attentive to the voice of my supplications.
Is this not the hope of every child of the Lord? How much more so in times of desperation.
Psalms 130:3 (KJV)
If thou, LORD, shouldest mark iniquities, O Lord, who shall stand?
And then he remembers his sin. Desperate to have the ear of God, he is keenly aware of all that would prevent his voice from entering into the throne room of grace.
Psalms 130:4 (KJV)
But there is forgiveness with thee, that thou mayest be feared.
What hope! What comfort! What liberty of the soul! God forgives. Therefore, we can come boldly to the throne of grace to obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.
Psalms 130:5 (KJV)
I wait for the LORD, my soul doth wait, and in his word do I hope.
I wait for the Lord. I can wait because I know there is forgiveness with God. I can hope in His Word. I can arise from despair. I can live boldly, cheerfully, abundantly because there is forgiveness with God.
