Verse 5 is found in chapter 130 of Psalms. Psalm 130 is a plea from the depths combining confession, waiting, and hope. The psalmist recognizes that no one could stand before God if he kept their iniquities for judgment without offering mercy. Precisely for this reason, he waits for the Lord more than watchmen wait for morning. The conclusion broadens personal hope toward Israel and grounds forgiveness in abundant divine redemption.
