And his patience in hope 7. He exhorts Israel to trust in God Out of the depths The phrase "Out of the depths" in Psalm 130:1 immediately evokes a sense of profound distress and desperation. The Hebrew word used here is "מַעֲמַקִּים" (ma'amaqqim), which literally means "depths" and is often associated with deep waters or a pit. This imagery is powerful, suggesting a situation where the psalmist feels overwhelmed, as if submerged in a sea of troubles. Historically, the depths can symbolize chaos and danger, reminiscent of the chaotic waters in Genesis before God brought order. Spiritually, this phrase reflects the human condition of being in dire need of divine intervention, a theme that resonates throughout the Psalms and the broader biblical narrative. It is a cry from the heart, acknowledging the limitations of human strength and the necessity of God's saving power. I cry to You, O LORD! Parallel Commentaries ...
