²³ let us hold fast the confession of our hope that it waver not; for he is faithful that promised:

¹³ Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, in the power of the Holy Spirit.

¹ Now faith is assurance of `things' hoped for, a conviction of things not seen.

²⁵ But if we hope for that which we see not, `then' do we with patience wait for it.

¹⁰ For to this end we labor and strive, because we have our hope set on the living God, who is the Saviour of all men, specially of them that believe.

¹ The Spirit of the Lord Jehovah is upon me; because Jehovah hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the broken-hearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening `of the prison' to them that are bound;

²⁷ to whom God was pleased to make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:

²⁴ Be strong, and let your heart take courage, All ye that hope in Jehovah. Psalm 32 `A Psalm' of David. Maschil.

⁵ Happy is he that hath the God of Jacob for his help, Whose hope is in Jehovah his God:

² O my God, in thee have I trusted, Let me not be put to shame; Let not mine enemies triumph over me.

³ Yea, none that wait for thee shall be put to shame: They shall be put to shame that deal treacherously without cause.

⁴ Show me thy ways, O Jehovah; Teach me thy paths.

¹¹ For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith Jehovah, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you hope in your latter end.

¹¹ Why art thou cast down, O my soul? And why art thou disquieted within me? Hope thou in God; for I shall yet praise him, `Who is' the help of my countenance, and my God.

³ And every one that hath this hope `set' on him purifieth himself, even as he is pure.

²⁴ For in hope were we saved: but hope that is seen is not hope: for who hopeth for that which he seeth?

²⁵ But if we hope for that which we see not, `then' do we with patience wait for it.

²⁶ And in like manner the Spirit also helpeth our infirmity: for we know not how to pray as we ought; but the Spirit himself maketh intercession for `us' with groanings which cannot be uttered;

¹⁵ but sanctify in your hearts Christ as Lord: `being' ready always to give answer to every man that asketh you a reason concerning the hope that is in you, yet with meekness and fear:

¹¹⁴ Thou art my hiding-place and my shield: I hope in thy word.

⁴ `There is' one body, and one Spirit, even as also ye were called in one hope of your calling;

⁵ and hope putteth not to shame; because the love of God hath been shed abroad in our hearts through the Holy Spirit which was given unto us.

³¹ but they that wait for Jehovah shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; they shall walk, and not faint.

²⁴ Jehovah is my portion, saith my soul; therefore will I hope in him.

⁸¹ KAPH. My soul fainteth for thy salvation; `But' I hope in thy word.

⁷ And now, Lord, what wait I for? My hope is in thee.

³ O Jehovah, in the morning shalt thou hear my voice; In the morning will I order `my prayer' unto thee, and will keep watch.

²² Let thy lovingkindness, O Jehovah, be upon us, According as we have hoped in thee. Psalm 34 A Psalm of David; when he changed his behavior before Abimelech, who drove him away, and he departed.

⁷ Jehovah will keep thee from all evil; He will keep thy soul.

⁸ Jehovah will keep thy going out and thy coming in From this time forth and for evermore. Psalm 122 A Song of Ascents; of David.

³ And not only so, but we also rejoice in our tribulations: knowing that tribulation worketh stedfastness;

⁴ and stedfastness, approvedness; and approvedness, hope:

⁵ and hope putteth not to shame; because the love of God hath been shed abroad in our hearts through the Holy Spirit which was given unto us.

¹⁸ having the eyes of your heart enlightened, that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints,

³ remembering without ceasing your work of faith and labor of love and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, before our God and Father;

⁵ My soul, wait thou in silence for God only; For my expectation is from him.

¹ Being therefore justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ;

² through whom also we have had our access by faith into this grace wherein we stand; and we rejoice in hope of the glory of God.

³ And not only so, but we also rejoice in our tribulations: knowing that tribulation worketh stedfastness;

⁴ having heard of your faith in Christ Jesus, and of the love which ye have toward all the saints,

⁵ because of the hope which is laid up for you in the heavens, whereof ye heard before in the word of the truth of the gospel,

⁶ which is come unto you; even as it is also in all the world bearing fruit and increasing, as `it doth' in you also, since the day ye heard and knew the grace of God in truth;

⁵ Guide me in thy truth, and teach me; For thou art the God of my salvation; For thee do I wait all the day.

²⁸ Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

¹² Hope deferred maketh the heart sick; But when the desire cometh, it is a tree of life.

¹³ But we would not have you ignorant, brethren, concerning them that fall asleep; that ye sorrow not, even as the rest, who have no hope.

¹⁴ For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also that are fallen asleep in Jesus will God bring with him.

¹⁵ For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we that are alive, that are left unto the coming of the Lord, shall in no wise precede them that are fallen asleep.

¹⁷ Charge them that are rich in this present world, that they be not highminded, nor have their hope set on the uncertainty of riches, but on God, who giveth us richly all things to enjoy;

¹² Having therefore such a hope, we use great boldness of speech,

³ Blessed `be' the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to his great mercy begat us again unto a living hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,

⁵ I wait for Jehovah, my soul doth wait, And in his word do I hope.

⁷ But as for me, I will look unto Jehovah; I will wait for the God of my salvation: my God will hear me.

¹² rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing stedfastly in prayer;

²⁰ Our soul hath waited for Jehovah: He is our help and our shield.

⁵ By terrible things thou wilt answer us in righteousness, Oh God of our salvation, Thou that art the confidence of all the ends of the earth, And of them that are afar off upon the sea:

¹⁷ A horse is a vain thing for safety; Neither doth he deliver any by his great power.

¹⁸ Behold, the eye of Jehovah is upon them that fear him, Upon them that hope in his lovingkindness;

¹⁹ To deliver their soul from death, And to keep them alive in famine.

²⁰ Our soul hath waited for Jehovah: He is our help and our shield.

¹⁶ who only hath immortality, dwelling in light unapproachable; whom no man hath seen, nor can see: to whom `be' honor and power eternal. Amen.

¹³ But now abideth faith, hope, love, these three; and the greatest of these is love.

¹⁸ For the needy shall not alway be forgotten, Nor the expectation of the poor perish for ever.

⁷ that, being justified by his grace, we might be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.
