I will wait for the Lord,
who is hiding His face from the house of Jacob.
I will wait for Him.

Therefore the Lord is waiting to show you mercy,
and is rising up to show you compassion,
for the Lord is a just God.
All who wait patiently for Him are happy.

Yes, Yahweh, we wait for You
in the path of Your judgments.
Our desire is for Your name and renown.

For the ruthless one will vanish,
the scorner will disappear,
and all those who lie in wait with evil intent
will be killed—

Lord, be gracious to us! We wait for You.
Be our strength every morning
and our salvation in time of trouble.

He will not grow weak or be discouraged
until He has established justice on earth.
The islands will wait for His instruction.”

Yes, the islands will wait for Me
with the ships of Tarshish in the lead,
to bring your children from far away,
their silver and gold with them,
for the honor of the Lord your God,
the Holy One of Israel,
who has glorified you.

On that day it will be said,
“Look, this is our God;
we have waited for Him, and He has saved us.
This is the Lord; we have waited for Him.
Let us rejoice and be glad in His salvation.”
