'Time' in the Bible

Oh that thou wouldest hide me in Sheol, that thou wouldest keep me secret until thine anger be past, that thou wouldest appoint me a set time, and remember me, --

(If a man die, shall he live again?) all the days of my time of toil would I wait, till my change should come:

Who were carried off before the time, whose foundation was overflowed with a flood;

Which I have reserved for the time of distress, for the day of battle and war?

Knowest thou the time when the wild goats of the rock bring forth? dost thou mark the calving of the hinds?

Dost thou number the months that they fulfil? and knowest thou the time when they bring forth?

For this shall every one that is godly pray unto thee at a time when thou mayest be found: surely in the floods of great waters they will not reach him.

they shall not be ashamed in the time of evil, and in the days of famine they shall be satisfied.

But the salvation of the righteous is of Jehovah: he is their strength in the time of trouble.

But as for me, my prayer is unto thee, Jehovah, in an acceptable time: O God, in the abundance of thy loving-kindness answer me, according to the truth of thy salvation:

Cast me not off in the time of old age; forsake me not when my strength faileth.

But he was merciful: he forgave the iniquity, and destroyed them not; but many a time turned he his anger away, and did not stir up all his fury:

Blow the trumpet at the new moon, at the set time, on our feast day:

The haters of Jehovah would have come cringing unto him; but their time would have been for ever.

Thou wilt rise up, thou wilt have mercy upon Zion: for it is the time to be gracious to her, for the set time is come.

To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heavens:

A time to be born, and a time to die; A time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted;

A time to kill, and a time to heal; A time to break down, and a time to build up;

A time to weep, and a time to laugh; A time to mourn, and a time to dance;

A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; A time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;

A time to seek, and a time to lose; A time to keep, and a time to cast away;

A time to rend, and a time to sew; A time to keep silence, and a time to speak;

A time to love, and a time to hate; A time of war, and a time of peace.

Thou hope of Israel, its Saviour in the time of trouble, why wilt thou be as a stranger in the land, and as a traveller that turneth aside to stay a night?

Hast thou then utterly rejected Judah? Doth thy soul loathe Zion? Why hast thou smitten us, and there is no healing for us? Peace is looked for, and there is no good, and a time of healing, and behold terror!
