Genesis 49:18

¹⁷⁴I have longed for your salvation, LORD. Your law is my delight.

¹⁶⁶I have hoped for your salvation, LORD. I have done your commandments.

⁷But as for me, I will look to the LORD. I will wait for the God of my salvation. My God will hear me.

⁹It shall be said in that day, “Behold, this is our God! We have waited for him, and he will save us! This is the LORD! We have waited for him. We will be glad and rejoice in his salvation!”

⁵I wait for the LORD. My soul waits. I hope in his word.

²⁵Behold, 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.

¹I waited patiently for the LORD. He turned to me, and heard my cry.

¹⁰and to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead: Jesus, who delivers us from the wrath to come.

²⁵The LORD is good to those who wait for him, to the soul who seeks him.

²LORD, be gracious to us. We have waited for you. Be our strength every morning, our salvation also in the time of trouble.
