Matthew Poole's Commentary on Psalms 130:7
Let Israel; every true Israelite, by the encouragement of mine example. Plenteous redemption; abundantly sufficient for all persons who shall accept it upon God’ s terms, and for the remission of all sins; and therefore here is good ground of hope for all contrite and returning sinners.
Trapp's Commentary on Psalms 130:7
Psalms 130:7 Let Israel hope in the LORD: for with the LORD [there is] mercy, and with him [is] plenteous redemption.Ver. 7. Let Israel hope in the Lord] Hope and yet fear, as Psalms 130:4 (with a filial fear); fear, and yet hope. Plenteous redemption] Are our sins great? with God there is mercy, matchless mercy. Are our sins many? with God is plenteous redemption, multa redemptio; he will multiply pardons as we multiply sins, Isaiah 55:7.
Ellicott's Commentary on Psalms 130:7
(7) Let Israel.—Rather (as in Prayer-Book), Hope Israel in Jehovah. It is the watchword of faith addressed to the nation. (Comp. Psalms 131:3 for a rarer form of it.)
Adam Clarke's Commentary on Psalms 130:7
Verse 7. Let Israel hope in the Lord] This, to hope for salvation, is their duty and their interest. But what reason is there for this hope? A twofold reason:- 1. With the Lord there is mercy] החסד hachesed, THAT mercy, the fund, the essence of mercy. 2. And with him is plenteous redemption.] והרבה עמו פדות veharabbah immo peduth; and that abundant redemption, that to which there is none like, the Fountain of redemption, the Lamb of God which taketh away the sin of the world. The article ה, both in הרבה harabbah and החסד hachesed, is very emphatic.
Cambridge Bible on Psalms 130:7
7. Hope, Israel, in Jehovah, For with Jehovah Is lovingklndness. The Psalmist exhorts the people, or if the preceding verses are taken as the words of the congregation, Israel exhorts itself, to wait in hope. Cp. Psalms 131:3. plenteous redemption] Or, redemption in abundance, manifold ways and means of effecting Israel’s deliverance, according to the abundance of His lovingkindness and compassion. Observe how the thought that God’s manifold mercy and patience have not been exhausted by Israel’s persistent rebellion runs through the confession in Nehemiah 9; Nehemiah 9:17; Nehemiah 9:19; Nehemiah 9:27-28; Nehemiah 9:30-31; Nehemiah 9:35. Cp. Isaiah 43:25; Isaiah 55:7.
