Shall renew their strength;
They shall mount up with wings like eagles,

The Lord shall preserve your going out and your coming in
From this time forth, and even forevermore. - Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that you may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.

On You I wait all the day. - Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us.

Just as we hope in You. - I wait for the Lord, my soul waits,

Because the Lord has anointed Me
To preach good tidings to the poor;

If you have found it, there is a prospect,

But woe to him who is alone when he falls,
For he has no one to help him up.Next verse!With image
