*1* “Wait for the Lord; be strong, and let your heart take courage; wait for the Lord!” *2* “But they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint.” *3* “The Lord is good to those who wait for him, to the soul who seeks him.” *4* “Therefore the Lord waits to be gracious to you, and therefore he exalts himself to show mercy to you. For the Lord is a God of justice; blessed are all those who wait for him.”
