(2.) His enquiry after relief; and therein are two things that present themselves unto him; the one whereof, which first offers the consideration of its self to him in his distress, he deprecates, ver. 3.If thou Lord shouldst mark iniquity, O Lord who shall stand?
The other he closeth withal, and finds relief in it, and supportment by it, ver. 5.But there is forgiveness with thee that thou mayest be feared.
Upon this his discovery and fixing on relief, there is the acting of his Faith, and the deportment of his whole Person;
1. Towards God; ver. 5, 6. I wait for the Lord, my soul doth wait, and in his word do I hope. My soul waiteth for the Lord, more than they that watch ⟨p. 6⟩for the morning, I say more than they that watch for the morning.
