My soul waiteth for the Lord more than they that watch for the morning: I say, more than they that watch for the morning.

My soul (waiteth) for the Lord more than they that watch for the morning; (I say more than) they that watch for the morning - `more than watchmen,' who, keeping watch all night, look forward with eagerness Neither do I exercise myself in great matters, or in things too high for me - literally, 'neither do I walk in great matters;' i:e., in an ambitious course of life (). "Too high" - literally, 'too wonderful for me;' above my sphere and my powers (). Job had once done so; but when taught by affliction he ceased to 'utter things too wonderful for him, which he knew not' (). The true way to be great is (as the Lord told Baruch, ) not to 'seek great things for ourselves' now.
