When You Get Down God Can Get You Up!

Psalm 130 A Song of degrees.

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 morning: I say, more than they that watch for the morning. Let Israel hope in the LORD: for with the LORD there is mercy, and with him is plentious redemption. And he shall redeem Israel from all his iniquities.

This psalm has several tools to get you up when you are way down.

  1. Prayer, verses 1 and 2.
  2. Forgiveness, verses 3 and 4.
  3. Hope, verses 5 and 6.
  4. Mercy, verses 7 and 8.

Our present and eternal redemption is enough to get us excited and put us on a spiritual high!
