Deu 6:5    And thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might.

The second word for our love of God is with all our soul. Psalm 130 speaks about the soul. 6 My soul waiteth for the Lord more than they that watch for the morning: I say, more than they that watch for the morning.......

John Gill comments on this:

The coming of Christ is said to be as the morning; and the light of God's countenance is comparable to the morning light; the discoveries of pardoning grace are through the bright shining of the sun of righteousness, and is the healing that is in his wings; and salvation and deliverance from any distress Is light that breaks forth as the morning: all and each of these are more desirable, and more to be waited for, than the natural light of the morning; see 2Sa 23:4, Hos 6:3.

There is nothing wrong with what the watchers are doing. I think what the Psalmist is saying is that the soul that waits on the Lord is deeper than those just watching. This waiting implies a deep expectation of his arrival.

Much like Jesus says in this beatitude.

Mat 5:6    Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.



Psalm 130
King James Version (KJV)

1 Out of the depths have I cried unto thee, O Lord.

2 Lord, hear my voice: let thine ears be attentive to the voice of my supplications.

3 If thou, Lord, shouldest mark iniquities, O Lord, who shall stand?

4 But there is forgiveness with thee, that thou mayest be feared.

5 I wait for the Lord, my soul doth wait, and in his word do I hope.

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