Then I remember something that fills me with hope.
I long for you to rescue me! Your word is my only hope.
Israel, trust the LORD! He is always merciful, and he has the power to save you.
The LORD's kindness never fails! If he had not been merciful, we would have been destroyed.
At the time I have decided, my words will come true. You can trust what I say about the future. It may take a long time, but keep on waiting— it will happen!
