Psalms 130— Hebrew word study · with the Hebrew tradition
How to read a word below: the Hebrewword, then how it sounds, then what it means, then its number in Strong’s concordance, which is the key every lexicon and concordance uses (H for Hebrew and Aramaic, G for Greek). Square brackets hold a word the English supplies that the Hebrew does not, angle brackets name a word that does a grammatical job rather than carrying a meaning, and the mark ס or פ is where the Hebrew manuscripts end a paragraph.
1Out of the depths I cry to You, O LORD!
2O Lord, hear my voice; let Your ears be attentive to my plea for mercy.
3If You, O LORD, kept track of iniquities, then who, O Lord, could stand?
4But with You there is forgiveness, so that You may be feared.
Rashi on Psalms 130:4
For forgiveness is with You You did not give permission to an agent to forgive, as it is said (Exod.:21): “for he will not forgive your transgression.”
