Psalms 130:2

"A Song of Ascents. Out of the depths I have cried to you, LORD."

Key Reflection

From the depths, the psalmist cries out to God, invoking a profound sense of distress and despair that resonates with the psalm's title as a Song of Ascents. This ascent imagery suggests a journey upward from a place of humility and possibly physical or spiritual lowliness, emphasizing the Psalmist’s desperate longing for divine intervention and deliverance.

From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

Lord, hear my voice -This is the prayer; this is what he cried. It is the language of earnest pleading. Let thine ears be attentive to the voice of my supplications -Do not turn away from me; do not disregard my cry. See the notes atPsalms 5:1.
