Adam Clarke's Bible Commentary Verse 6. More than they that watch for the morning. ] I believe the original should be read differently from what it is here. The Chaldee has, "More than they who observe the morning watches, that they may offer the morning oblation." This gives a good sense, and is, perhaps, the true meaning. Most of the Versions have "From the morning to the night watches." Or the passage may be rendered, "My soul waiteth for the Lord from the morning watches to the morning watches." That is, "I wait both day and night."
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 5-8 - It is for the Lord that my soul waits, for the gifts of his grace, an the working of his power. We must hope for that only which he ha promised in his word. Like those who wish to see the dawn, being very desirous that light would come long before day; but still mor earnestly does a good man long for the tokens of God's favour, and the visits of his grace. Let all that devote themselves to the Lord cheerfully stay themselves on him. This redemption is redemption from all sin. Jesus Christ saves his people from their sins, both from the condemning and from the commanding power of sin. It is plenteou redemption; there is an all-sufficient fulness in the Redeemer, enoug for all, enough for each; therefore enough for me, says the believer Redemption from sin includes redemption from all other evils, therefor it is a plenteous redemption, through the atoning blood of Jesus, wh shall redeem his people from all their sins. All that wait on God for mercy and grace, are sure to have peace _________________________________________________
