Psalm 130:6

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

My soul waiteth for the Lord more than they that watch for the morning: I say, more than they that watch for the morning.

When I remember You on my bed,
I meditate on You in the night watches,

rise before dawn and cry for help;

I wait for Your words.

Fearing that we might run aground somewhere on the rocks, they cast four anchors from the stern and wished for daybreak.

A Song of Ascents.
Behold, bless the Lord, all servants of the Lord,
Who

serve by night in the house of the Lord!

Then the lookout called,
“O Lord, I stand continually by day on the watchtower,
And I am stationed every night at my guard post.

In the morning, O Lord, You will hear my voice;
In the morning I will order my prayer to You and eagerly watch.

My eyes fail with longing for Your salvation
And for Your righteous word.
