Psalms 130:6

“My soul [waiteth] for the Lord, etc.] This is repeated for the confirmation of it, and to show the vehement and constant disposition of his mind towards the Lord; as well as for the sake of what follows: more than they that watch for the morning: [I say, more than] they that watch for the morning; or, “more than the morning watchers, that watch for or until the morning”f1780; than watchmen of cities, or the keepers of the wails, as Aben Ezra; those who are upon the last morning watch, and are looking out for the morning light; that they may go off from duty, and lie down and sleep: or than those that sit up with sick persons; who, being solitary and melancholy, as well as want sleep, long…”

The Septuagint and Latin Vulgate render this, “My soul hopeth in the Lord from the morning watch until night.” The idea is that of watchers - night guards - who look anxiously for the break of day that they may be relieved.

“waiteth: Psa 63:6, Psa 119:147; Act 27:29 I say more than they that watch for the morning: or, which watch unto the morning, Psa 134:1; Isa 21:8 Psalms 130:7”
