Psalm 130:5

Psalms of David in Metre 1650 (Scottish Psalter)

I wait for God, my soul doth wait, my hope is in his word.

See the chapter Copy

Our soul doth wait upon the Lord; he is our help and shield.

My soul for thy salvation faints; yet I thy word believe.

My soul, wait thou with patience upon thy God alone; On him dependeth all my hope and expectation.

My soul with expectation depends on God indeed; My strength and my salvation doth from him alone proceed.

I waited for the Lord my God, and patiently did bear; At length to me he did incline my voice and cry to hear.

Wait on the Lord, and be thou strong, and he shall strength afford Unto thine heart; yea, do thou wait, I say, upon the Lord.

So who thee fear shall joy to see me trusting in thy word.

My shield and hiding-place thou art: I on thy word rely.

Remember, Lord, thy gracious word thou to thy servant spake, Which, for a ground of my sure hope, thou causedst me to take.

So shall I have wherewith I may give him an answer just, Who spitefully reproacheth me; for in thy word I trust.
