Psalm 130: The Creation Of The Phalm In The Bible

Psalm 130 is an unnamed psalm in the Hebrew psalter composed by a penitential Israelite. The church has made great use of the psalms. It was written by and anonymous author but is suggested that it could be Hezekiah. It was written during the time of Moses (approximately, 1440 B.C.) and the Babylonian captivity (586 B.C.). The authors of the Psalms are accredited to David who wrote 73 psalms; Asaph who wrote 12, the sons of Korah who wrote 9; Solomon who wrote 2, Heman (with the sons of Korah), Ethan, and Moses each wrote one; and 51 psalms are anonymous. The New Testament ascribes two of the anonymous Psalms (2and 95) to David. The purpose of Psalms 130 is to provide poetry for the expression of praise, worship, and confession to God. The

Satan has not supplied anything that is significance for us but destruction, heartaches, agony, pain, and failures. Let’s take in account Jonah’s experience inside of the belly of the whale. Just imagine how deep the belly of the whale is. And on top of that the depth for which the whale swam. And God still heard Jonah’s cries within the belly of the whale.
