INTRODUCTION TO Psalms 130 A Song of degrees. This psalm is by some thought to have been written by David either when persecuted by Saul, and in great distress, and fearful he should perish by him; or else when in great distress of mind because of sin, after the affair of Bathsheba; and it is reckoned therefore among the penitential psalms.

My soul [waiteth] for the Lord,.... 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" (h); than watchmen of...

My soul waiteth for the Lord more than they that watch for the morning: I say, more than they that watch for the morning. Those on the sick bed, who long for their weary waiting to be over, those afflicted ones who cry in the night of pain, “Would God it were morning! “ Those, too, that stand as sentinels the night before the battle, or after the fight, watch and long to see the morning light....

Out of the depths have I cried unto thee, O LORD. Lord, hear my voice: let thine ears be attentive to the voice of my supplications. If thou Lord, shouldest mark iniquities, O Lord, who shall stand? But there is forgiveness with thee, that thou mayest be feared. I wait for the LORD, my soul doth wait, and in his word do I hope. My soul waiteth for the Lord more than they that watch for the...
