- Place your hope in the Lord:
be strong and courageous in your heart,
and place your hope in the Lord. - I wait for the Lord in anxious expectation;
I place my hope in his word. - But if we hope for what we do not yet see, then we wait for it with patience.
- In God alone be at rest, O my soul;
it is from him that my hope comes. - Wait quietly for the Lord
and be patient until he comes.
Do not fret over the man who prospers
because of his evil schemes. - But even so the Lord is waiting to be gracious to you,
and he will rise up to grant you his compassion.
For the Lord is a God of justice;
blessed are all those who wait for him. - But as for me, I will look to the Lord.
I place my hope in God my savior;
my God will hear me. - Guide me in your truth and instruct me,
for you are God, my Savior,
and in you I hope all the day long. - As we proceed in the path of your judgments,
we wait for you, O Lord;
your name and your renown
are all that our heart desires. - Be strong and courageous in your hearts,
all you who place your hope in the Lord. - Those who place their hope in the Lord
will regain their strength.
They will soar as with eagles’ wings,
they will run and not grow weary,
they will walk and not become faint. - But our citizenship is in heaven, and from there we await our Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ.
- The Lord is my portion, I say to myself;
therefore, I will place my hope in him. - And now, what are you waiting for? Get up, be baptized, and have your sins washed away, calling on his name.
- O Lord, at daybreak you hear my voice;
at daybreak I bring my petition before you
and await your reply. - In God alone is my soul at rest;
it is from him that my salvation comes. - You are my refuge and my shield;
I put my hope in your word. - The Lord said to Moses, “Climb up to me on the mountain and remain there. I will give you stone tablets with the laws and commandments that I have written for their instruction.”
- But the eyes of the Lord are on those who fear him,
on those who trust in his kindness. - Why are you so disheartened, O my soul?
Why do you sigh within me?
Place your hope in God;
for I will once again praise him,
my Savior and my God. - So Christ, having been offered once to take away the sins of many, will appear a second time, not to deal with sin but to bring salvation to those who are eagerly waiting for him.
- For everything that was written in the past was written for our instruction, so that by perseverance and the encouragement of the Scriptures, we may continue to have hope.
- However, you, dear friends, must build yourselves up in your most holy faith and pray in the Holy Spirit. Keep yourselves in the love of God as you await our Lord Jesus Christ in his mercy, who will grant you eternal life.
The way of God is blameless,
and the Lord’s promise proves true;
he is a shield to all
who flee to him for safety. Do not seek to adorn yourself externally—by the braiding of your hair and the wearing of gold jewelry or fine clothing. Rather, let your adornment be of your inner self, the imperishable beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is precious in the sight of God.Next verse!With image
