Psalms 130:5

Psa 130:5 I wait for the LORD, my soul doth wait, and in his word do I hope.

Ver. 5. I wait for the Lord ] I wait, and wait, viz. for deliverance out of misery, Psalms 130:1 , being assured of pardoning mercy. Feri, Domine, feri; a peccatis enim absolutus sum, said Luther, Strike, Lord, while thou wilt, so long as my sins are forgiven; I can be of good comfort; I can wait, or want for a need.

And in his word ] viz. Of promise, that ground of hope unfailable, Romans 5:5 ; of faith unfeigned, 1 Timothy 1:5 .
