¹¹ For I am conscious of my thoughts about you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you hope at the end.

¹² And you will go on crying to me and making prayer to me, and I will give ear to you.

¹³ And you will be searching for me and I will be there, when you have gone after me with all your heart.

¹⁴ I will be near you again, says the Lord, and your fate will be changed, and I will get you together from all the nations and from all the places where I had sent you away, says the Lord; and I will take you back again to the place from which I sent you away prisoners.

²⁵ The Lord is good to those who are waiting for him, to the soul which is looking for him.

²⁶ It is good to go on hoping and quietly waiting for the salvation of the Lord.

²⁷ It is good for a man to undergo the yoke when he is young.

⁷ Take your rest in the Lord, waiting quietly for him; do not be angry because of the man who does well in his evil ways, and gives effect to his bad designs.

¹² And for which I undergo these things: but I have no feeling of shame. For I have knowledge of him in whom I have faith, and I am certain that he is able to keep that which I have given into his care till that day.

⁷ And the peace of God, which is deeper than all knowledge, will keep your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.

⁷ Putting all your troubles on him, for he takes care of you.

⁴ Let there be fear in your hearts, and do no sin; have bitter feelings on your bed, but make no sound. (Selah.)

⁸ Have faith in him at all times, you people; let your hearts go flowing out before him: God is our safe place. (Selah.)

²⁸ Come to me, all you who are troubled and weighted down with care, and I will give you rest.

²⁹ Take my yoke on you and become like me, for I am gentle and without pride, and you will have rest for your souls;

³⁰ For my yoke is good, and the weight I take up is not hard.

⁷ A blessing is on the man who puts his faith in the Lord, and whose hope the Lord is.

⁸ For he will be like a tree planted by the waters, pushing out its roots by the stream; he will have no fear when the heat comes, but his leaf will be green; in a dry year he will have no care, and will go on giving fruit.

⁹ The heart is a twisted thing, not to be searched out by man: who is able to have knowledge of it?

³¹ But those who are waiting for the Lord will have new strength; they will get wings like eagles: running, they will not be tired, and walking, they will have no weariness.

¹⁰ Be at peace in the knowledge that I am God: I will be lifted up among the nations, I will be honoured through all the earth.

⁷ He said to Judah, Let us make these towns, building walls round them with towers and doors and locks. The land is still ours, because we have been true to the Lord our God; we have been true to him and he has given us rest on every side. So they went on building and all went well for them.

¹ <To the chief music-maker. Of David. A Psalm.> When I was waiting quietly for the Lord, his heart was turned to me, and he gave ear to my cry.

¹⁴ Let your hope be in the Lord: take heart and be strong; yes, let your hope be in the Lord.

¹⁷ And the work of righteousness will be peace; and the effect of an upright rule will be to take away fear for ever.

³ The man whose heart is unmoved you will keep in peace, because his hope is in you.

²² Put your cares on the Lord, and he will be your support; he will not let the upright man be moved.

¹⁵ For the Lord, the Holy One of Israel, said, In quiet and rest is your salvation: peace and hope are your strength: but you would not have it so.
