Wait

“I wait for Your salvation, O Lord.

Indeed, none of those who [expectantly] wait for You will be ashamed;
Those who turn away from what is right and deal treacherously without cause will be ashamed (humiliated, embarrassed).

For God alone my soul waits in silence and quietly submits to Him,
For my hope is from Him.

I wait [patiently] for the Lord, my soul [expectantly] waits,
And in His word do I hope.

The Lord is good to those who wait [confidently] for Him,
To those who seek Him [on the authority of God’s word].

Therefore, return [in repentance] to your God,
Observe and highly regard kindness and justice,
And wait [expectantly] for your God continually.

For in this hope we were saved [by faith]. But hope [the object of] which is seen is not hope. For who hopes for what he already sees?

and to [look forward and confidently] wait for [the coming of] His Son from heaven, whom He raised from the dead—Jesus, who [personally] rescues us from the coming wrath [and draws us to Himself, granting us all the privileges and rewards of a new life with Him].

May the Lord direct your hearts into the love of God and into the steadfastness and patience of Christ.
