They that

And I will wait for the Lord who is hiding His face from the house of Jacob; and I will look eagerly for Him.

It will be said in that day,
“Indeed, this is our God for whom we have waited that He would save us.
This is the Lord for whom we have waited;
Let us shout for joy and rejoice in His salvation.”

Therefore the Lord waits [expectantly] and longs to be gracious to you,
And therefore He waits on high to have compassion on you.

For the Lord is a God of justice;

Blessed (happy, fortunate) are all those who long for Him [since He will never fail them].

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).

Wait for and confidently expect the Lord;
Be strong and let your heart take courage;
Yes, wait for and confidently expect the Lord.

Wait for and expect the Lord and keep His way,
And He will exalt you to inherit the land;
[In the end] when the wicked are cut off, you will see it.

I waited patiently and expectantly for the Lord;
And He inclined to me and heard my cry.

To sing praises to Your name, O Most High,

And as the eyes of a maid to the hand of her mistress,
So our eyes look to the Lord our God,
Until He is gracious and favorable toward us.

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

But if we hope for what we do not see, we wait eagerly for it with patience and composure.

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].

‘Spare him from going down to the pit [of destruction];
I have found a ransom [a consideration, or reason for redemption, an atonement]!’

Who satisfies your years with good things,
So that your youth is renewed like the [soaring] eagle.

On the day I called, You answered me;
And You made me bold and confident with [renewed] strength in my life.

For we do not want you to be uninformed, brothers and sisters, about our trouble in [the west coast province of] Asia [Minor], how we were utterly weighed down, beyond our strength, so that we despaired even of life [itself].

We are pressured in every way [hedged in], but not crushed; perplexed [unsure of finding a way out], but not driven to despair;

but He has said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you [My lovingkindness and My mercy are more than enough—always available—regardless of the situation]; for [My] power is being perfected [and is completed and shows itself most effectively] in [your] weakness.” Therefore, I will all the more gladly boast in my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ [may completely enfold me and] may dwell in me.

Mount

‘You have seen what I did to the Egyptians, and how I carried you on eagles’ wings, and brought you to Myself.

They go from strength to strength [increasing in victorious power];
Each of them appears before God in Zion.

Leaning upon her beloved?”

And they will walk [and glory] in His name,” declares the Lord.

In the land of the living.

Now Jesus was telling the disciples a parable to make the point that at all times they ought to pray and not give up and lose heart,

Therefore, since we have this ministry, just as we received mercy [from God, granting us salvation, opportunities, and blessings], we do not get discouraged nor lose our motivation.

Let us not grow weary or become discouraged in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap, if we do not give in.

Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses [who by faith have testified to the truth of God’s absolute faithfulness], stripping off every unnecessary weight and the sin which so easily and cleverly entangles us, let us run with endurance and active persistence the race that is set before us,

and [I know that] you [who believe] are enduring patiently and are bearing up for My name’s sake, and that you have not grown weary [of being faithful to the truth].

General references

“As an eagle that protects its nest,
That flutters over its young,
He spread out His wings and took them,
He carried them on His pinions.
