I wait [patiently] for the LORD, my soul [expectantly] waits, And in His word do I hope.
My soul waits for the Lord More than the watchmen for the morning; More than the watchmen for the morning.
O Israel, hope in the LORD; For with the LORD there is lovingkindness, And with Him is abundant redemption. (Psalm 130:5-6) For the creation was subjected to frustration and futility, not willingly [because of some intentional fault on its part], but by the will of Him who subjected it, in hope that the creation itself will also be freed from its bondage to decay [and gain entrance] into the glorious freedom of the children of God. For we know that the whole creation has been moaning together as in the pains of childbirth until now. And not only this, but we too, who have the first fruits of the Spirit [a joyful indication of the blessings to come], even we groan inwardly, as we wait eagerly for [the sign of] our adoption as sons--the redemption and transformation of our body [at the resurrection]. For in this hope we were saved [by faith]. But hope [the object of] which is seen is not hope. For who hopes for what he already sees? But if we hope for what we do not see, we wait eagerly for it with patience and composure. (Romans 8:20-25)
Let me know Your ways, O LORD;
Teach me Your paths.
Guide me in Your truth and teach me,
For You are the God of my salvation;
For You [and only You] I wait [expectantly] all the day long. (Psalm 25:4-5)
