^6 (A)My soul waits for the Lord
More than those who watch for the morning—
Yes, more than those who watch for the morning.

¹⁷ And I will wait on the Lord,
Who ^(A)hides His face from the house of Jacob;
And I ^(B)will hope in Him.

¹⁸ Therefore the Lord will wait, that He may be ^(A)gracious to you;
And therefore He will be exalted, that He may have mercy on you.
For the Lord is a God of justice;
^(B)Blessed are all those who ^(C)wait for Him.

³ For ^(A)the vision is yet for an appointed time;
But at the end it will speak, and it will ^(B)not lie.
Though it tarries, ^(C)wait for it;
Because it will ^(D)surely come,
It will not tarry.

⁸ “Therefore ^(B)wait for Me,” says the Lord,
“Until the day I rise up ^[a]for plunder;
My determination is to ^(C)gather the nations
To My assembly of kingdoms,
To pour on them My indignation,
All My fierce anger;
All the earth ^(D)shall be devoured
With the fire of My jealousy.
