Verses about hope

Why are you cast down, my soul, and why are you agitated within me? Await Elohim, for I will yet give him thanks, the salvations of my face and my Elohim.

I have waited for YHWH; my soul has waited, and for his word I have awaited. My soul waits for Adonai more than watchmen for the morning, watchmen for the morning. Let Israel await YHWH, for with YHWH is loyal love, and abundant with him is redemption.

This I will bring back to my heart; therefore I will await. The loyal loves of YHWH: indeed we have not been consumed, for his mercies have not come to an end. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. My portion is YHWH, says my soul; therefore I will await him.

Only before Elohim be silent, my soul, for from him comes my hope.

Do you not know, or have you not heard? The eternal Elohim is YHWH, Creator of the ends of the earth; he does not grow tired nor weary; there is no searching of his understanding. He gives strength to the tired, and to him who has no vigor he increases power. Youths will grow tired and grow weary, and young men stumbling, will stumble; but those who wait for YHWH will renew their strength; they will go up with plumage like eagles; they will run and not grow weary; they will walk and not grow tired.

Look, the eye of YHWH is on those who fear him, on those who await his loyal love, to deliver from death their soul and to keep them alive in famine. Our soul is waiting for YHWH; our help and our shield is he. For in him our heart is glad, for in his holy name we have trusted. Let your loyal love, YHWH, be upon us, even as we have awaited you.

But I will watch for YHWH; I will await the Elohim of my salvation; my Elohim will hear me. Do not rejoice over me, my enemy; for though I have fallen, I will rise; though I sit in darkness, YHWH is a light for me.

YHWH said to Abram, “Go from your land, from your kindred, and from the house of your father to the land that I will show you. I will make you into a great nation, I will bless you, and I will make great your name; and be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you, and the one who treats you with contempt I will curse; and in you all the families of the ground will be blessed.”

He brought him outside and said, “Look now toward the heavens and count the stars, if you are able to count them.” And he said to him, “So will your offspring be.” And he believed in YHWH, and he counted it to him as righteousness.

When your days are fulfilled and you lie down with your fathers, I will raise up your offspring after you, who will come out from your body, and I will establish his kingdom. He will build a house for my name, and I will make firm the throne of his kingdom forever. I will be to him a father, and he will be to me a son. When he commits iniquity, I will rebuke him with the rod of men and with the blows of human beings, but my loyal love will not depart from him, as I took it away from Saul, whom I took away from before you. And your house and your kingdom will be firm forever before you; your throne will be established forever.’”

For a child has been born to us, a son has been given to us, and the dominion will be on his shoulder; and his name will be called Wonder of a Counselor, Valiant El, Perpetual Father, Prince of Peace. Of the increase of the dominion and of peace there will be no end, on the throne of David and over his kingdom, to establish it and to uphold it with justice and with righteousness from now and forever. The zeal of YHWH Tsevaot will do this.

For I know the plans that I am planning for you, declares YHWH, plans of peace and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.

Look, days are coming, declares YHWH, when I will make with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah a new covenant, not like the covenant that I made with their fathers on the day I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt, my covenant that they broke, though I was their husband, declares YHWH. For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, declares YHWH: I will put my instruction within them, and on their heart I will write it; and I will be to them Elohim, and they will be to me a people. And no longer will they teach, each one his neighbor and each one his brother, saying, ‘Know YHWH,’ for all of them will know me, from the least of them to the greatest of them, declares YHWH; for I will forgive their iniquity, and their sin I will not remember anymore.”

And I will give you a new heart, and a new spirit I will put within you; and I will remove the heart of stone from your flesh, and give you a heart of flesh. And my spirit I will put within you, and I will bring it about that you walk in my statutes, and keep my ordinances and do them. And you will live in the land that I gave to your fathers, and you will be my people, and I will be your Elohim.

El is not a man, that he should lie, or a son of man, that he should relent. Has he said, and will he not do it? Or has he spoken, and will he not fulfill it?

For as many as are the promises of God, in him is the “Yes.” Therefore also through him goes the “Amen” to God for glory through us.

Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for the one who promised is faithful.

Since his divine power has granted us all things that lead to life and godliness, through the knowledge of the one who called us by his own glory and virtue, through which he has granted us the precious and very great promises, so that through them you may become sharers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through desire.

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus the Messiah, who according to his great mercy has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus the Messiah from the dead, to an inheritance imperishable and undefiled and unfading, kept in heaven for you, who are being guarded by the power of God through faith for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.

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

For whatever was written beforehand was written for our instruction, so that through perseverance and through the comfort of the Scriptures we might have hope.

For in hope we were saved; but hope that is seen is not hope; for who hopes for what he sees? But if we hope for what we do not see, we wait eagerly for it with perseverance.

And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose.

so that through two unchangeable things, in which it is impossible for God to lie, we who have fled for refuge may have strong comfort to hold on to the hope set before us. We have this hope as an anchor of the soul, sure and firm, and one that enters into the place inside the curtain,

to whom God willed to make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the nations, which is the Messiah in you, the hope of glory.

but sanctify the Messiah as Lord in your hearts, always ready to make a defense to everyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you;

For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation to all people, training us that, having denied ungodliness and worldly desires, we may live sensibly and justly and godly in the present age, awaiting the happy hope and appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus the Messiah, who gave himself for us so that he might redeem us from all lawlessness and purify for himself a people of his own, zealous for good works.

and not only that, but also we ourselves, having the firstfruits of the Spirit, we also ourselves groan within ourselves, eagerly awaiting adoption as sons, the redemption of our body.

For our citizenship is in heaven, from which also we eagerly await a Savior, the Lord Jesus the Messiah, who will transform the body of our humiliation to be conformed to the body of his glory, according to the working by which he is able even to subject all things to himself.

Beloved, now we are children of God, and what we will be has not yet been revealed. We know that when he is revealed, we will be like him, because we will see him as he is. And everyone who has this hope in him purifies himself, just as he is pure.

But according to his promise we wait for new heavens and a new earth, in which righteousness dwells.

For look, I create new heavens and a new earth; and the former things will not be remembered, nor rise in the heart. But rather rejoice and exult forever in what I create; for look, I create Jerusalem as exultation, and her people as rejoicing. And I will exult in Jerusalem and rejoice in my people; and no longer will be heard in her the sound of weeping or the sound of crying.

And the wolf will dwell with the lamb, and the leopard will lie down with the young goat, and the calf and the young lion and the fattened animal together, and a little boy will lead them. And the cow and the bear will graze; their young will lie down together; and the lion, like the ox, will eat straw. And the nursing child will play over the hole of the viper, and over the den of the cobra the weaned child will stretch out his hand. They will not do harm or destroy in all my holy mountain; for the earth will be full of the knowledge of YHWH as the waters cover the sea.

And I saw a new heaven and a new earth; for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and the sea is no more. And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared like a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Look, the tent of God is with humanity, and he will pitch his tent with them, and they will be his peoples, and God himself will be with them.

And he will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, nor grief nor crying nor pain will there be any longer; for the first things have passed away.”

And he showed me a river of the water of life, bright as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb in the middle of its street. And on either side of the river was the tree of life, producing twelve crops of fruit, yielding its fruit each month; and the leaves of the tree are for the healing of the nations. And there will no longer be any accursed thing. And the throne of God and of the Lamb will be in it, and his slaves will serve him, and they will see his face, and his name will be on their foreheads. And night will be no more, and they have no need of the light of a lamp or the light of the sun, because the Lord God will shine on them, and they will reign to the ages of the ages.
