Psalms 97:11

⁷Be patient therefore, brothers, until the coming of the Lord. Behold, the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the earth, being patient over it, until it receives the early and late rain. ⁸You also be patient. Establish your hearts, for the coming of the Lord is at hand.

⁹Don’t grumble, brothers, against one another, so that you won’t be judged. Behold, the judge stands at the door. ¹⁰Take, brothers, for an example of suffering and of perseverance, the prophets who spoke in the name of the Lord. ¹¹Behold, we call them blessed who endured. You have heard of the perseverance of Job and have seen the Lord in the outcome, and how the Lord is full of compassion and mercy.

⁴⁶I have come as a light into the world, that whoever believes in me may not remain in the darkness.

¹⁸But the path of the righteous is like the dawning light that shines more and more until the perfect day.

¹“Arise, shine; for your light has come, and the LORD’s glory has risen on you! ²For behold, darkness will cover the earth, and thick darkness the peoples; but the LORD will arise on you, and his glory shall be seen on you.

²⁸You will also decree a thing, and it will be established to you. Light will shine on your ways.

⁴Light dawns in the darkness for the upright, gracious, merciful, and righteous.

⁵Those who sow in tears will reap in joy. ⁶He who goes out weeping, carrying seed for sowing, will certainly come again with joy, carrying his sheaves.

⁹I will bear the indignation of the LORD, because I have sinned against him, until he pleads my case and executes judgment for me. He will bring me out to the light. I will see his righteousness.

²³The city has no need for the sun or moon to shine, for the very glory of God illuminated it and its lamp is the Lamb.

¹⁶The Jews had light, gladness, joy, and honor.
