Read Psalms 130 in context

Scripture Focus

1Out of the depths have I cried unto thee, O LORD.

2Lord, hear my voice: let thine ears be attentive to the voice of my supplications.

3If thou, LORD, shouldest mark iniquities, O Lord, who shall stand?

4But there is forgiveness with thee, that thou mayest be feared.

5I wait for the LORD, my soul doth wait, and in his word do I hope.

6My soul waiteth for the Lord more than they that watch for the morning: I say, more than they that watch for the morning.

Psalms 130:1-6

Biblical Context

The psalm speaks from a place of deep distress, calling to be heard, recognizing forgiveness, and awaiting inner guidance with hopeful trust.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within the cry from the depths, you are not addressing some distant God; you are awakening to the I AM that you truly are. The cry is an invitation to reenter your consciousness and declare, in the intimate room of your mind, that you hear the voice of your own supplication. When the text says there is forgiveness with thee, reinterpret it as the release of past judgments you have laid upon yourself. Forgiveness is not distant mercy but the inward shift that dissolves separation, so that fear becomes reverence for the divine within. The waiting for the LORD becomes a deliberate rest in your inner word, the decree by which you live. You do not passively endure the night; you align with the inner dawn by feeling the truth that your soul is already held by the Lord of your own mind. In this view, 'more than they that watch for the morning' is a constant expectancy that the morning of realization has begun in your present state, and the morning never leaves you when you dwell in the word that renews.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and assume you are already heard by the I AM within; revise any sense of separation by declaring, 'I am heard and forgiven.' Then feel the inward dawn of renewal as your inner word anchors you in calm expectancy.
