Fear God, Wait for the Lord

For the Lord spoke thus to me with his strong hand upon me, and warned me not to walk in the way of this people, saying:

I will wait for the Lord, who is hiding his face from the house of Jacob, and I will hope in him.

It will be said on that day, “Behold, this is our God; we have waited for him, that he might save us. This is the Lord; we have waited for him; let us be glad and rejoice in his salvation.”

In the path of your judgments, O Lord, we wait for you; your name and remembrance are the desire of our soul.

The Lord Will Be Gracious

Therefore the Lord waits to be gracious to you, and therefore he exalts himself to show mercy to you. For the Lord is a God of justice; blessed are all those who wait for him.

O Lord, be gracious to us; we wait for you. Be our arm every morning, our salvation in the time of trouble.

but they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint.

He will not grow faint or be discouraged till he has established justice in the earth; and the coastlands wait for his law.

Kings shall be your foster fathers, and their queens your nursing mothers. With their faces to the ground they shall bow down to you, and lick the dust of your feet. Then you will know that I am the Lord; those who wait for me shall not be put to shame.”

My righteousness draws near, my salvation has gone out, and my arms will judge the peoples; the coastlands hope for me, and for my arm they wait.

From of old no one has heard or perceived by the ear, no eye has seen a God besides you, who acts for those who wait for him.
