7 O Israel, have hope in the Lord; for with the Lord is mercy and full salvation.
O Israel, have hope in the Lord, from this time and for ever.
My little children, I am writing these things to you so that you may be without sin. And if any man is a sinner, we have a friend and helper with the Father, Jesus Christ, the upright one: He is the offering for our sins; and not for ours only, but for all the world.
And the law came in addition, to make wrongdoing worse; but where there was much sin, there was much more grace: That, as sin had power in death, so grace might have power through righteousness to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
You are good, O Lord, and full of forgiveness; your mercy is great to all who make their cry to you.
And their voices are sounding in a new song, saying, It is right for you to take the book and to make it open: for you were put to death and have made an offering to God of your blood for men of every tribe, and language, and people, and nation,
So do not give up your hope which will be greatly rewarded.
And he put a new song in my mouth, even praise to our God; numbers have seen it with fear, and put their faith in the Lord.
But I will still have among you a quiet and poor people, and they will put their faith in the name of the Lord.
<A Song of the going up. Of David.> Lord, there is no pride in my heart and my eyes are not lifted up; and I have not taken part in great undertakings, or in things over-hard for me.
But there is forgiveness with you, so that you may be feared.
O Israel, have faith in the Lord: he is their help and their breastplate. O house of Aaron, have faith in the Lord: he is their help and their breastplate. You worshippers of the Lord, have faith in the Lord: he is their help and their breastplate. The Lord has kept us in mind and will give us his blessing; he will send blessings on the house of Israel and on the house of Aaron. He will send blessings on the worshippers of the Lord, on the small and on the great.

Commentary on Psalms 130 Matthew Henry Commentary
Psalm 130
This psalm relates not to any temporal concern, either personal or public, but it is wholly taken up with the affairs of the soul. It is reckoned one of the seven penitential psalms, which have sometimes been made use of by penitents, upon their admission into the church; and, in singing it, we are all concerned to apply it to ourselves. The psalmist here expresses,
And, as in water face answers to face, so does the heart of one humble penitent to another.
A song of degrees.
