[5] I wait  for the LORD,  my soul  doth wait,  and in his word  do I hope.  [6] My soul  waiteth for the Lord  more than they that watch  for the morning:  I say, more than they that watch  for the morning. 

What does Psalms 130:5-6 Mean?

Contextual Meaning

The writer purposed to continue to wait for the Lord to deliver him while he reflected on God"s forgiveness. He compared himself to a guard on duty late at night. He could only wait for the morning light when someone else would relieve him, and when all that was now dark would then be clear.
