¹⁷ And I have waited for Jehovah, Who is hiding His face from the house of Jacob, And I have looked for Him.

⁸ In overflowing wrath I hid my face `for' a moment from thee, And in kindness age-during I have loved thee, Said thy Redeemer -- Jehovah!

³ For yet the vision `is' for a season, And it breatheth for the end, and doth not lie, If it tarry, wait for it, For surely it cometh, it is not late.

¹⁷ and Mine anger hath burned against it in that day, and I have forsaken them, and hidden My face from them, and it hath been for consumption, and many evils and distresses have found it, and it hath said in that day, Is it not because that my God is not in my midst -- these evils have found me?

¹⁸ and I certainly hide My face in that day for all the evil which it hath done, for it hath turned unto other gods.

²⁰ And He saith: I hide My face from them, I see what `is' their latter end; For a froward generation `are' they, Sons in whom is no stedfastness.

¹⁴ Look unto Jehovah -- be strong, And He doth strengthen thy heart, Yea, look unto Jehovah!

²⁰ Our soul hath waited for Jehovah, Our help and our shield `is' He,

¹⁵ And in your spreading forth your hands, I hide mine eyes from you, Also when ye increase prayer, I do not hear, Your hands of blood have been full.

⁹ And `one' hath said in that day, `Lo, this `is' our God, We waited for Him, and He saveth us, This `is' Jehovah, we have waited for Him, We joy and rejoice in His salvation.'

² But your iniquities have been separating Between you and your God, And your sins have hidden The Presence from you -- from hearing.

⁷ And there is none calling in Thy name, Stirring up himself to lay hold on Thee, For Thou hast hid Thy face from us, And thou meltest us away by our iniquities.

²³ And known have the nations that for their iniquity, Removed have the house of Israel, Because they have trespassed against Me, And I do hide My face from them, And give them into the hand of their adversaries, And they fall by sword -- all of them.

²⁴ According to their uncleanness, And according to their transgressions, I have done with them, And I do hide My face from them.

⁴ Then do they cry unto Jehovah, And He doth not answer them, And hideth His face from them at that time, As they have made evil their doings.

²⁸ so also the Christ, once having been offered to bear the sins of many, a second time, apart from a sin-offering, shall appear, to those waiting for him -- to salvation!

¹⁸ For Thy salvation I have waited, Jehovah!

⁵ and the Lord direct your hearts to the love of God, and to the endurance of the Christ.

¹⁰ and to wait for His Son from the heavens, whom He did raise out of the dead -- Jesus, who is rescuing us from the anger that is coming.

³⁴ Look unto Jehovah, and keep His way, And He doth exalt thee to possess the land, In the wicked being cut off -- thou seest!

⁷ And, now, what have I expected? O Lord, my hope -- it `is' of Thee.

¹ To the Overseer. -- A Psalm of David. I have diligently expected Jehovah, And He inclineth to me, and heareth my cry,

⁵ I hoped `for' Jehovah -- hoped hath my soul, And for His word I have waited.

⁸ Also, `in' the path of Thy judgments, O Jehovah, we have waited `for' Thee, To Thy name and to Thy remembrance `Is' the desire of the soul.

² O Jehovah, favour us, for thee we have waited, Be their arm, in the mornings, Yea, our salvation in time of adversity.

¹⁰ Who `is' among you, fearing Jehovah, Hearkening to the voice of His servant, That hath walked in dark places, And there is no brightness for him? Let him trust in the name of Jehovah, And lean upon his God.

⁴ Even from antiquity `men' have not heard, They have not given ear, Eye hath not seen a God save Thee, He doth work for those waiting for Him.

²⁵ Good `is' Jehovah to those waiting for Him, To the soul `that' seeketh Him.

²⁶ Good! when one doth stay and stand still For the salvation of Jehovah.

⁶ And thou, through thy God, dost turn, Kindness and judgment keep thou, And wait on thy God continually.

⁷ And I -- in Jehovah I do watch, I do wait for the God of my salvation, Hear me doth my God.

³⁸ and she, at that hour, having come in, was confessing, likewise, to the Lord, and was speaking concerning him, to all those looking for redemption in Jerusalem.

³⁶ for of patience ye have need, that the will of God having done, ye may receive the promise,

³⁷ for yet a very very little, He who is coming will come, and will not tarry;

³⁸ and `the righteous by faith shall live,' and `if he may draw back, My soul hath no pleasure in him,'

³⁹ and we are not of those drawing back to destruction, but of those believing to a preserving of soul.
