Psalm 130

Psalm 130:5
I wait for the LORD, my soul does wait,
And in His word do I hope.
What does it mean for one's soul to wait?  Does it mean your soul is just quietly sitting there, letting time drift by?  Is it letting any old random stuff occur, just to move things along, until the clock finally runs down and whatever it's waiting for arrives?

Or are the two verbs here connected?  Is waiting a type of hoping?  Is it looking forward to the event in question?  Searching, yearning even, for it to come, and it gets increasingly impatient as the time comes, making the event itself all the more memorable?
