My soul hath relied on his word:Ma in te è clemenza, e a causa della tua legge io ho confidato in te, o Signore. L'anima mia si è affidata alla sua parola:Because with thee there is propiciation: and for thy law I haue expected thee ô Lord. My soule hath expected in his word:Quia apud te propitiatio est; / et propter legem tuam sustinui te, Domine. / Sustinuit anima mea in verbo ejus: 5my soul hath hoped in the Lord.l'anima mia ha sperato nel Signore.my soule hath hoped in our Lord.speravit anima mea in Domino. 6From the morning watch even until night, let Israel hope in the Lord.Dalla vigilia del mattino, fino alla notte speri Israele nel Signore.From the morning watch euen vntil night: let Israel hope in our Lord.A custodia matutina usque ad noctem, / speret Israël in Domino. 7Because with the Lord there is mercy: and with him plentiful redemption.Perché nel Signore è misericordia, e redenzione copiosa presso di lui.Because with our Lord there is mercie: and with him plenteous redemption.Quia apud Dominum misericordia, / et copiosa apud eum redemptio. 8And he shall redeem Israel from all his iniquities.Ed ei redimerà Israele da tutte le sue iniquità.And he shal redeme Israel, from al his iniquities.Et ipse redimet Israël / ex omnibus iniquitatibus ejus.

This prayer agreeth to al true penitents, crying to God for helpe, being •• her in depth of sorovv for sinne, and so it is one of the Penitential Psalmes, or the depth of feruent desire to ascend tovvards perfection in vertue, and from this vaile of miserie into heauen, and so it is a Gradual Psalme, or in the depth of temporal paines, and so it is a special prayer for soules in Purgatorie, offered by the Church in their behalfe.

sant'Agostino d'Ippona † 430 d.C. The Confessions 2.3
… To whom do I narrate this? Not unto Thee, my God; but before Thee unto my own kind, even to that small part of the human race who may chance to light upon these my writings. And to what end? That I and all who read the same may reflect out of what depths we are to cry unto Thee.
sant'Agostino d'Ippona † 430 d.C. The Confessions 11.2
… Let Thy Scriptures be my chaste delights. Neither let me be deceived in them, nor deceive out of them. Lord, hear and pity, O Lord my God, light of the blind, and strength of the weak; even also light of those that see, and strength of the strong, hearken unto my soul, and hear it crying “out of the depths.”
sant'Agostino d'Ippona † 430 d.C. Lectures or Tractates on the Gospel According to St. John 15.9
… Why dost thou marvel? Jesus came, and, by humbling Himself, came to a well. He came wearied, because He carried weak flesh. At the sixth hour, because in the sixth age of the world. To a well, because to the depth of this our habitation. For which reason it is said in the psalm: “From the depth have I cried unto Thee, O Lord.”
sant'Agostino d'Ippona † 430 d.C. Expositions on the Book of Psalms 40.3
… What then has He already done? “He has brought me out of a horrible pit.” What horrible pit is that? It is the depth of iniquity, from the lusts of the flesh, for this is meant by “the miry clay.” Whence hath He brought thee out? Out of a certain deep, out of which thou criedst out in another Psalm, “Out of the deep have I called unto Thee, O Lord.”
sant'Agostino d'Ippona † 430 d.C. Expositions on the Book of Psalms 68.28
… Doth perchance the Latin expression deceive us, and hath there been put “unto the deep,” for a translation of what signifieth “deeply”? For He doth not turn Himself: but He turneth those that in the deep of this world lie sunk down with the weight of sins, in that place where one that is turned saith, “From the depths I have cried to Thee, O Lord.”
sant'Agostino d'Ippona † 430 d.C. Expositions on the Book of Psalms 69.18
… Great is the pit of the depth of human iniquity: every one, if he shall have fallen into it, will fall into the deep. But yet if a man being there placed confesseth his sins to his God, the pit will not shut her mouth upon him: as is written in another Psalm, “From the depths I have cried to Thee, O Lord; Lord, hearken unto my voice.”
sant'Agostino d'Ippona † 430 d.C. Expositions on the Book of Psalms 130.1

sant'Ignazio di Antiochia † 108 d.C. Epistle to the Magnesians: Shorter and Longer Versions 10
Let us not, therefore, be insensible to His kindness. For were He to reward us according to our works, we should cease to be. For “if Thou, Lord, shalt mark iniquities, O Lord, who shall stand?”
sant'Agostino d'Ippona † 430 d.C. The Confessions 1.5
… and Thou hast put away the iniquity of my heart? I do not contend in judgment with Thee, who art the Truth; and I would not deceive myself, lest my iniquity lie against itself. I do not, therefore, contend in judgment with Thee, for “if Thou, Lord, shouldest mark iniquities, O Lord, who shall stand?”
sant'Agostino d'Ippona † 430 d.C. Expositions on the Book of Psalms 59.1.11
… Whom would He not terrify? What man falling back upon his own conscience would not tremble? Which even if to itself it is conscious of godliness, strange if it be not in some sort conscious of iniquity. For whosoever doeth sin, also doeth iniquity. “For if Thou shalt have marked iniquities, O Lord, what man shall abide it?”
sant'Agostino d'Ippona † 430 d.C. Expositions on the Book of Psalms 79.12
… For “in Thy sight shall no man living be justified.” But sin is iniquity. And “if Thou shalt have marked iniquities, who shall stand?”
sant'Agostino d'Ippona † 430 d.C. Expositions on the Book of Psalms 130.2
… 2 ). Whence doth he cry? From the deep. Who is it then who crieth? A sinner. And with what hope doth he cry? Because He who came to absolve from sins, gave hope even to the sinner down in the deep. What therefore followeth after these words: “If Thou, Lord, wilt be extreme to mark what is amiss, O Lord, who may abide it?” (
papa san Gregorio I Magno † 604 d.C. Register of the Epistles of St. Gregory the Great 11.46
… Wherefore your Holiness ought carefully to consider all things, and to correct some things gently, but bear others that cannot be corrected with equanimity. For we see plainly what is said by holy Church through the voice of the Psalmist, Sinners have built upon my back (

8. “For with the Lord there is mercy, and with Him is plenteous redemption” (
papa san Leone I Magno † 461 d.C. Letters 108
… nor fix times for Him with whom true conversion suffers no delay of forgiveness, as says God’s Spirit by the prophet, “when thou hast turned and lamented, then shalt thou be saved ;” and elsewhere, “Declare thou thy iniquities beforehand, that thou may’st be justified ;” and again, “For with the Lord there is mercy, and with Him is plenteous redemption
Early Popes (Pseudo-Isidorian Decretals) The Epistles of Pope Callistus 2.6
… And when the satisfaction is made good, the mind is turned aside from anger. For how does that man think that mercy will be shown to himself, who does not forgive his neighbour? If offences abound, then, let mercy also abound; for with the Lord there is mercy, and with Him is plenteous redemption.
129:8
sant'Agostino d'Ippona † 430 d.C. Expositions on the Book of Psalms 130.8
… But, lest this thought should be suggested: The Head might rise again, because It was not weighed down with sins, there was no sin in Him; what shall we do? Shall we hope for such a resurrection, as went before in the Lord, whilst we are weighed down by our sins? But see what followeth: “And He shall redeem Israel from all his sins” (
129:1
… Nessuno può sottravisi con un « patto » (Is. 28, 15, 18). I delori della f. sono quelli della morte (II Sam. 22, 6; Ps. 17, 6; 115, 3). Con un piede nell'abisso, il fedele « dal profondo grida » a Dio per essere liberato (Ps. 129, 1; Eccli. 51, 9). La f. personificata come la morte (Job 28, 22; Is. 5, 14; Eccli. 14, 12-19), poeticamente è raffigurata come mostro insaziabile dalle fauci enormi (Is. 5, 14; Hab. …
