Psalm 130

I wait for the Lord, my soul waits,
and in his word I hope;
my soul waits for the Lord
more than those who watch for the morning,
more than those who watch for the morning.


The Hebrew translated above as "wait" is קָוָה or qavah.

Especially for this setting of the psalm, wait is the right translation.

But qavah can also mean to collect, to bind together, or to gather.

This is how we are to wait for the Lord, by binding together that which has been separated.

Psalm 130
