¹ I waited patiently for Jehovah; And he inclined unto me, and heard my cry.

⁷ Rest in Jehovah, and wait patiently for him: Fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, Because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass.

¹³ `I had fainted', unless I had believed to see the goodness of Jehovah In the land of the living.

¹⁴ Wait for Jehovah: Be strong, and let thy heart take courage; Yea, wait thou for Jehovah. Psalm 28 `A Psalm' of David.

² Lord, hear my voice: Let thine ears be attentive To the voice of my supplications.

¹⁸ O my God, incline thine ear, and hear; open thine eyes, and behold our desolations, and the city which is called by thy name: for we do not present our supplications before thee for our righteousness, but for thy great mercies' sake.

⁷ Be patient therefore, brethren, until the coming of the Lord. Behold, the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth, being patient over it, until it receive the early and latter rain.

⁸ Be ye also patient; establish your hearts: for the coming of the Lord is at hand.

⁹ Murmur not, brethren, one against another, that ye be not judged: behold, the judge standeth before the doors.

¹⁰ Take, brethren, for an example of suffering and of patience, the prophets who spake in the name of the Lord.

¹¹ Behold, we call them blessed that endured: ye have heard of the patience of Job, and have seen the end of the Lord, how that the Lord is full of pity, and merciful.

¹⁵ The eyes of Jehovah are toward the righteous, And his ears are `open' unto their cry.

² Because he hath inclined his ear unto me, Therefore will I call `upon him' as long as I live.
