And he will redeem Israel From all his iniquities.
And he shall redeem Israel from all his iniquities. Our iniquities are our worst dangers: if saved from these, we are saved altogether; but there is no salvation from them except by redemption. What a blessing that this is here promised in terms which remove it out of the region of question: the Lord shall certainly redeem his believing people from all their sins.
I wait for the Lord as surely as sentinels watch for morning, more assured, more eager. His covenant is firmer than the laws of day and night themselves, for those shall pass away but His is everlasting. I long for tokens of His favor and visits of His grace more earnestly than watchers long for dawn.

Commenting on Psalm 130:5-8
The sinner need not despair; his soul is steadfastly directed toward God, waiting upon His word of salvation. Like those who watch through the night for morning, I wait in painful, protracted expectancy. With the Lord alone is mercy in its fullness, mercy that removes guilt and its consequences, and puts freedom, peace, and joy into the heart.
