Ver. 6.
1Yea, in the performance, and discharge of this duty, my soul is intent upon thee, and in its whole frame turned towards thee, and that with such diligence and watchfulness in looking out after every way, and means of thy appearance, of thy manifestation of thy self, and coming unto me, that I excel therein those who with longing desire, heedfulness, and earnest expectation, do wait and watch for the appearance of the morning; and that either that they may rest from their night watches, or have light for the duties of thy Worship in the Temple, which they are most delighted in.
1YEa, in the performance, and discharge of this duty, my soul is intent upon thee, and in its whole frame turned towards thee, and that with such diligence and watchfulness in looking out after every way, and means of thy appearance, of thy manifestation of thy self, and coming unto me, that I excell therein those who with longing desire, heedfulness, and earnest expectation, do wait and watch for the appearance of the morning; and that either that they may rest from their night watches, or have light for the duties of thy Worship in the Temple, which they are most delighted in.
- 16. My soul waiteth for the Lord, more than they, that watch for the morning, I say, more than they that watch for the morning.
