¹⁴ And I continually do wait with hope, And have added unto all Thy praise.

³ and every one who is having this hope on him, doth purify himself, even as he is pure.

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

¹³ Wherefore having girded up the loins of your mind, being sober, hope perfectly upon the grace that is being brought to you in the revelation of Jesus Christ,

³⁵ Ye may not cast away, then, your boldness, which hath great recompense of reward,

¹⁰ for ye do it also to all the brethren who `are' in all Macedonia; and we call upon you, brethren, to abound still more,

⁹ and this I pray, that your love yet more and more may abound in full knowledge, and all judgment,

²¹ This I turn to my heart -- therefore I hope.

⁷ Israel doth wait on Jehovah, For with Jehovah `is' kindness, And abundant with Him `is' redemption.

⁵ What! bowest thou thyself, O my soul? And what! art thou troubled within me? Wait for God, for still I confess Him, The salvation of my countenance, and my God!

⁶ By Thee I have been supported from the womb, From my mother's bowels Thou dost cut me out, In Thee `is' my praise continually.

¹⁵ Lo, He doth slay me -- I wait not! Only, my ways unto His face I argue.

¹⁸ and increase ye in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ; to him `is' the glory both now, and to the day of the age! Amen.
