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

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.

³⁵ So do not give up your hope which will be greatly rewarded.

¹⁴ For if we keep the substance of the faith which we had at the start, even till the end, we have a part with Christ;

⁵ I am waiting for the Lord, my soul is waiting for him, and my hope is in his word.

¹⁷⁴ All my desire has been for your salvation, O Lord; and your law is my delight.

¹⁶⁶ Lord, my hope has been in your salvation; and I have kept your teachings.

¹³ So make your minds ready, and keep on the watch, hoping with all your power for the grace which is to come to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ;

¹⁸ But it is good to have an interest in a good cause at all times, and not only when I am present with you.

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.

⁷ For there is no use or purpose in the help of Egypt: so I have said about her, She is Rahab, who has come to an end.

¹ <A Psalm. A Song for the Sabbath.> It is a good thing to give praise to the Lord, and to make melody to your name, O Most High;

²⁸ But it is good for me to come near to God: I have put my faith in the Lord God, so that I may make clear all his works.

⁶ Freely will I make my offerings to you; I will give praise to your name, O Lord, for it is good.

⁹ I will give you praise without end for what you have done; I will give honour to your name before your saints, for it is good.

³⁴ Be waiting for the Lord, and keep his way; and you will be lifted up, and have the land for your heritage: when the evil-doers are cut off, you will see it.

¹⁷ There will be no need for you to take up arms in this fight; put yourselves in position, and keep where you are, and you will see the salvation of the Lord with you, O Judah and Jerusalem: have no fear and do not be troubled: go out against them tomorrow, for the Lord is with you.

¹³ But Moses said, Keep where you are and have no fear; now you will see the salvation of the Lord which he will give you today; for the Egyptians whom you see today you will never see again.

¹⁸ I have been waiting for your salvation, O Lord.
