Trust in the LORD. Have faith, do not despair. Trust in the LORD.

I wait eagerly for the LORD's help, and in his word I trust.

I wait for the Lord more eagerly than sentries wait for the dawn--- than sentries wait for the dawn.

The LORD has hidden himself from his people, but I trust him and place my hope in him.

When it happens, everyone will say, "He is our God! We have put our trust in him, and he has rescued us. He is the LORD! We have put our trust in him, and now we are happy and joyful because he has saved us."

We follow your will and put our hope in you; you are all that we desire.

And yet the LORD is waiting to be merciful to you. He is ready to take pity on you because he always does what is right. Happy are those who put their trust in the LORD.

Put it in writing, because it is not yet time for it to come true. But the time is coming quickly, and what I show you will come true. It may seem slow in coming, but wait for it; it will certainly take place, and it will not be delayed.

Be patient, then, my friends, until the Lord comes. See how patient farmers are as they wait for their land to produce precious crops. They wait patiently for the autumn and spring rains.

You also must be patient. Keep your hopes high, for the day of the Lord's coming is near.

He waited another seven days and sent out the dove again.

By the seventh day God finished what he had been doing and stopped working.

He blessed the seventh day and set it apart as a special day, because by that day he had completed his creation and stopped working.
