“People listened to me and waited silently; they kept silent for my advice.

They waited for me as people wait for the rain, and they opened their mouths as for the spring rains.

ז (Zayin) Remember your word to your servant, for you have given me hope.

Your loyal followers will be glad when they see me, for I find hope in your word.

כ (Kaf) I desperately long for your deliverance. I find hope in your word.

You are my hiding place and my shield. I find hope in your word.

I am up before dawn crying for help. I find hope in your word.

I rely on the Lord, I rely on him with my whole being; I wait for his assuring word.

Be strong and confident, all you who wait on the Lord!

Look, the Lord takes notice of his loyal followers, those who wait for him to demonstrate his faithfulness

May we experience your faithfulness, O Lord, for we wait for you.

As for me, I will wait continually, and will continue to praise you.

O Israel, hope in the Lord now and forevermore!

The Lord takes delight in his faithful followers, and in those who wait for his loyal love.

But this I call to mind; therefore I have hope:

“My portion is the Lord,” I have said to myself, so I will put my hope in him.

But I will keep watching for the Lord; I will wait for the God who delivers me. My God will hear my lament.

What is my strength, that I should wait? and what is my end, that I should prolong my life?

Even if he slays me, I will hope in him; I will surely defend my ways to his face!

If a man dies, will he live again? All the days of my hard service I will wait until my release comes.
