Haydock's commentary
From. Or Hebrew, "more than the morning watch; yea, more than the morning watch." I expect my deliverance with greater eagerness than sentinels do the return of morning. All the day and night long I am filled with these sentiments. (Calmet)
The hope of penitents resembles the watches of the day, which are more comfortable than those of the night. (Worthington)
