Yet You are He who pulled me out of the womb;
You made me trust when on my mother’s breasts.

He gathereth the waters of the sea together, as it were upon a heap, and layeth up the deep, as in a treasure-house.

For those who do evil will be cut off,
But those who wait for the Lord, they will inherit the land.

“And now, Lord, for what do I expectantly wait?
My hope [my confident expectation] is in You.

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

Do not let those who wait [confidently] for You be ashamed through me, O Lord God of hosts;
Do not let those who seek You [as necessary for life itself] be dishonored through me, O God of Israel,

And I continually do wait with hope, And have added unto all Thy praise.

I will say unto the LORD, "O my hope, and my stronghold; my God, in whom I will trust."

He raises the poor out of the dust
And lifts the needy from the ash heap,

Therefore do I cry unto thee, O LORD, and say, "Thou art my hope and my portion in the land of the living!"

My hope and my castle, my defense and my deliverer, my shield in whom I trust, which subdueth the people that is under me.
