Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerse 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; i.e. more eagerly, more anxiously, than even the night watchman, tired with his long vigil. Again the repetition adds force.

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(6) Watch for the morning.--Comp. Psalm 123:2 for another figure of the same earnest upward gaze. In the "watcher for the dawn" there may be an allusion to the Levite-sentinel whose duty it was to signal the first ray of dawn, and the moment for commencing the sacred rites of the Temple (Psalm 134:1), but the figure if general, as marking the impatience of a deeply agitated soul--a sufferer waiting for relief, a contrite sinner for forgiveness--is as striking as graceful. (See Deuteronomy 28:67.)
