7 O Israel, have hope in the Lord; for with the Lord is mercy and full salvation.
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.
In whom we have salvation through his blood, the forgiveness of our sins, through the wealth of his grace, Which he gave us in full measure in all wisdom and care;
For there is one God and one peacemaker between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, Who gave himself as an offering for all; witness of which was to be given at the right time;
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.
