Like all the psalms, Psalm 130 was written anonymously. Although we can not know exactly wrote this, or any other psalm, we can say that it was approximately when it was written. The psalms are traditionally attributed to the time of David and Solomon. but modern scholars say that they were actually written over a period of more than two hundred years, during and after the Babylonian Exile. This is evidenced in the case of Psalm 130 by verse 8, "And he shll redeem Israel from all his iniquities." This is a reference to the destruction of Israel in 722 BCE, supposedly because God tired of its iniquities, and the long-held hope for its restoration.
