Psalm 130:6

American Standard Version (1901)

My soul waiteth for the Lord More than watchmen wait for the morning; Yea, more than watchmen for the morning.

See the chapter Copy

I anticipated the dawning of the morning, and cried: I hoped in thy words.

When I remember thee upon my bed, And meditate on thee in the night-watches.

And fearing lest haply we should be cast ashore on rocky ground, they let go four anchors from the stern, and wished for the day.

And he cried as a lion: O Lord, I stand continually upon the watch-tower in the day-time, and am set in my ward whole nights;

Behold, bless ye Jehovah, all ye servants of Jehovah, That by night stand in the house of Jehovah.

Deliver me from all my transgressions: Make me not the reproach of the foolish.
