ISSL Reflections July 28 2024 Psalm 130 Post 1

I.
Why does the Psalmist repeat “… more than those who watch for the morning…”?

II.
Psalm 130

Out of the depths I cry to you, O Lord.
       Lord, hear my voice!
Let your ears be attentive
       to the voice of my supplications!

If you, O Lord, should mark iniquities,
       Lord, who could stand?
But there is forgiveness with you,
       so that you may be revered.

I wait for the Lord; my soul waits,
       and in his word I hope;
my soul waits for the Lord
       more than those who watch for the morning,
       more than those who watch for the morning.

O Israel, hope in the Lord!
       For with the Lord there is steadfast love,
       and with him is great power to redeem.
It is he who will redeem Israel
       from all its iniquities.

III.
What’s your thoughts about the “watching” Psalmist?

Does the Psalm speak to you about “watching” or about “waiting.”

He does put “wait” and “watch” together in the same sentence. Why”
