Psalms, 130
2. If I was not humbly minded, but exalted my soul: As a child that is weaned is towards his mother, so reward in my soul.

Psalm 130 is a psalm of lamentation that talks about the sake of the psalmist to God in the midst of his anguish and need for forgiveness. He recognizes that God is merciful and begs for His grace and redemption. Below are five verses of the Bible that relate to the themes of this Psalm:
Psalm 51:1-2: "There is mercy on me, O God, according to your kindness; my transgressions erases, according to the multitude of your mercies. It washes me completely from my iniquity, and cleans me from my sin." This verse is a request for forgiveness and purification similar to the theme of Psalm 130.
Isaiah 43:25: "I myself, I am what I delete your transgressions for the sake of me, and your sins I don't remember." This verse shows God's mercy on forgiving sins and forgetting them, giving hope to the psalmist in Psalm 130.
Psalm 103:8-9: "The Lord is merciful and compassionate, patient and full of kindness. He does not treat us according to our sins, nor do us return to our iniquities." This verse emphasizes God's mercy and compassion, which is important to the psalmist in Psalm 130.
Jeremiah 33:8: "I will purify them of all the iniquity with which they sinned against me; I will forgive all their iniquities, with which they sinned and transgressed against me." This verse speaks of the forgiveness God offers his people, which is relevant to the psalmist in Psalm 130.
Ephesians 1:7: "In Him we have redemption for his blood, the remission of offenses, according to the riches of his grace." This verse speaks of the forgiveness that Jesus brought to humanity through his sacrifice on the cross, something that the psalmist in Psalm 130 can have hope.
