Psalms 130:5

For from of old men have not heard, nor perceived by the ear, nor has the eye seen a God besides you, who works for him who waits for him.

But as it is written, “Things which an eye didn’t see, and an ear didn’t hear, which didn’t enter into the heart of man, these God has prepared for those who love him.”

Our soul has waited for Yahweh. He is our help and our shield.

So that with good courage we say, “The Lord is my helper. I will not fear. What can man do to me?”

Oh how great is your goodness, which you have laid up for those who fear you, which you have worked for those who take refuge in you, before the sons of men!

God is not a man, that he should lie, nor a son of man, that he should repent. Has he said, and will he not do it? Or has he spoken, and will he not make it good?

Wait for Yahweh. Be strong, and let your heart take courage. Yes, wait for Yahweh.

Be strong, and let your heart take courage, all you who hope in Yahweh.

that by two immutable things, in which it is impossible for God to lie, we may have a strong encouragement, who have fled for refuge to take hold of the hope set before us.

Don’t say, “I will pay back evil.” Wait for Yahweh, and he will save you.

Watch! Stand firm in the faith! Be courageous! Be strong!

But you, Yahweh, are a shield around me, my glory, and the one who lifts up my head.

Wait for Yahweh, and keep his way, and he will exalt you to inherit the land. When the wicked are cut off, you shall see it.

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

Therefore Yahweh will wait, that he may be gracious to you; and therefore he will be exalted, that he may have mercy on you, for Yahweh is a God of justice. Blessed are all those who wait for him.

but those who wait for Yahweh will renew their strength. They will mount up with wings like eagles. They will run, and not be weary. They will walk, and not faint.

Yes, no one who waits for you will be shamed. They will be shamed who deal treacherously without cause.

My soul, wait in silence for God alone, for my expectation is from him.

Be strong and courageous. Don’t be afraid or scared of them; for Yahweh your God himself is who goes with you. He will not fail you nor forsake you.”

For the vision is yet for the appointed time, and it hurries toward the end, and won’t prove false. Though it takes time, wait for it; because it will surely come. It won’t delay.

I will wait for Yahweh, who hides his face from the house of Jacob, and I will look for him.

I waited patiently for Yahweh. He turned to me, and heard my cry.

Cast your burden on Yahweh and he will sustain you. He will never allow the righteous to be moved.

strengthened with all power, according to the might of his glory, for all endurance and perseverance with joy,

You are my hiding place. You will preserve me from trouble. You will surround me with songs of deliverance.

God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.

in hope of eternal life, which God, who can’t lie, promised before time began;

He who heeds the Word finds prosperity. Whoever trusts in Yahweh is blessed.

A man shall be as a hiding place from the wind, and a covert from the storm, as streams of water in a dry place, as the shade of a large rock in a weary land.

I can do all things through Christ, who strengthens me.

The Lord is not slow concerning his promise, as some count slowness; but he is patient with us, not wishing that anyone should perish, but that all should come to repentance.

After these things Yahweh’s word came to Abram in a vision, saying, “Don’t be afraid, Abram. I am your shield, your exceedingly great reward.”

Rest in Yahweh, and wait patiently for him. Don’t fret because of him who prospers in his way, because of the man who makes wicked plots happen.

My soul rests in God alone. My salvation is from him.

My soul faints for your salvation. I hope in your word.

In the day that I called, you answered me. You encouraged me with strength in my soul.

Therefore the showers have been withheld and there has been no latter rain; yet you have had a prostitute’s forehead and you refused to be ashamed.

Are there any among the vanities of the nations that can cause rain? Or can the sky give showers? Aren’t you he, Yahweh our God? Therefore we will wait for you; for you have made all these things.

“Blessed is the man who trusts in Yahweh, and whose confidence is in Yahweh.

Does the rain have a father? Or who fathers the drops of dew?

For Yahweh God is a sun and a shield. Yahweh will give grace and glory. He withholds no good thing from those who walk blamelessly.

Show me a sign of your goodness, that those who hate me may see it, and be shamed, because you, Yahweh, have helped me, and comforted me.

Those who fear you will see me and be glad, because I have put my hope in your word.

It shall be said in that day, “Behold, this is our God! We have waited for him, and he will save us! This is Yahweh! We have waited for him. We will be glad and rejoice in his salvation!”

Yes, in the way of your judgments, Yahweh, we have waited for you. Your name and your renown are the desire of our soul.

In overflowing wrath I hid my face from you for a moment, but with everlasting loving kindness I will have mercy on you,” says Yahweh your Redeemer.

But as for me, I will look to Yahweh. I will wait for the God of my salvation. My God will hear me.

They were both righteous before God, walking blamelessly in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord.

Behold, there was a man in Jerusalem whose name was Simeon. This man was righteous and devout, looking for the consolation of Israel, and the Holy Spirit was on him.

Or do you despise the riches of his goodness, forbearance, and patience, not knowing that the goodness of God leads you to repentance?

I have waited for your salvation, Yahweh.

Then my anger shall be kindled against them in that day, and I will forsake them, and I will hide my face from them, and they shall be devoured, and many evils and troubles shall come on them; so that they will say in that day, ‘Haven’t these evils come on us because our God is not among us?’

Also the Strength of Israel will not lie nor repent; for he is not a man, that he should repent.”

But the salvation of the righteous is from Yahweh. He is their stronghold in the time of trouble.

So I will have an answer for him who reproaches me, for I trust in your word.

I have hoped for your salvation, Yahweh. I have done your commandments.

I have longed for your salvation, Yahweh. Your law is my delight.

Be wise, my son, and bring joy to my heart, then I can answer my tormentor.

Or else let him take hold of my strength, that he may make peace with me. Let him make peace with me.”

He will give the rain for your seed, with which you will sow the ground; and bread of the increase of the ground will be rich and plentiful. In that day, your livestock will feed in large pastures.

while men come to fight with the Chaldeans, and to fill them with the dead bodies of men, whom I have killed in my anger and in my wrath, and for all whose wickedness I have hidden my face from this city:

Yahweh is good to those who wait for him, to the soul who seeks him.

Coming up at that very hour, she gave thanks to the Lord, and spoke of him to all those who were looking for redemption in Jerusalem.

that he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, that you may be strengthened with power through his Spirit in the inner person,

You also be patient. Establish your hearts, for the coming of the Lord is at hand.

But the end of all things is near. Therefore be of sound mind, self-controlled, and sober in prayer.

Let integrity and uprightness preserve me, for I wait for you.

Remember your word to your servant, because you gave me hope.

Behold, as the eyes of servants look to the hand of their master, as the eyes of a maid to the hand of her mistress; so our eyes look to Yahweh, our God, until he has mercy on us.

Behold, God is my salvation. I will trust, and will not be afraid; for Yah, Yahweh, is my strength and song; and he has become my salvation.”

It is good that a man should hope and quietly wait for the salvation of Yahweh.

For we, through the Spirit, by faith wait for the hope of righteousness.
