Verses about waiting on god

For the director. On Jeduthun. A psalm of David. Only toward Elohim my soul is in silence; from him comes my salvation. Only he is my Rock and my salvation, my high refuge; I will not be greatly moved.

Be silent before YHWH and wait longingly for him; do not get heated because of the one who prospers in his way, because of the man who carries out plans.

Good is YHWH to those who wait for him, to the soul that seeks him. Good it is that one should await, and silently, the salvation of YHWH.

“Desist, and know that I am Elohim; I will be exalted among the nations; I will be exalted in the earth.”

Moses said to the people, “Do not be afraid. Stand firm and see the salvation of YHWH, which he will work for you today; for the Egyptians whom you see today you will never see them again. YHWH will fight for you, and you will keep silent.”

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.

For thus says Adonai YHWH, the Holy One of Israel: “In returning and rest you will be saved; in quietness and in trust will be your might.” But you were not willing,

For the director. Of David. A psalm. I waited and waited for YHWH, and he inclined to me and heard my cry for help. And he brought me up from the pit of tumult, from the mud of the mire, and set my feet upon a crag; he made firm my steps. And he put in my mouth a new song, praise to our Elohim; many will see and fear and trust in YHWH.

Wait for YHWH; be strong, and let your heart take courage; and wait for YHWH.

For everything there is an appointed time, and a time for every matter under the heavens: a time to give birth and a time to die; a time to plant and a time to uproot what is planted; a time to kill and a time to heal; a time to break down and a time to build; a time to weep and a time to laugh; a time to mourn and a time to dance; a time to throw away stones and a time to gather stones; a time to embrace and a time to keep far from embracing; a time to seek and a time to lose; a time to keep and a time to throw away; a time to tear and a time to sew; a time to keep silent and a time to speak; a time to love and a time to hate; a time of war and a time of peace.

At my guard post I will stand, and station myself on the fortification, and I will watch to see what he will say to me, and what I will answer concerning my reproof. And YHWH answered me and said: “Write the vision, and engrave it clearly on the tablets, so that the one who reads it may run. For the vision is yet for the appointed time; and it hastens toward the end, and it will not lie. If it delays, wait for it, for it will surely come; it will not be late.

But when the fullness of time came, God sent forth his Son, born of a woman, born under the law,

But do not let this one thing escape you, beloved, that one day with the Lord is like a thousand years, and a thousand years like one day. The Lord is not slow about the promise, as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wanting any to perish, but all to come to a change of mind.

In your hand are my times; deliver me from the hand of my enemies and from those who pursue me.

So those who had come together were asking him, saying, “Lord, are you restoring the kingdom to Israel at this time?” He said to them, “It is not for you to know times or seasons that the Father has set by his own authority;

After these things the word of YHWH came to Abram in a vision, saying, “Do not be afraid, Abram; I am a shield to you; your reward will be very great.” But Abram said, “Adonai YHWH, what will you give me, while I go on childless, and the heir of my house is Eliezer of Damascus?” And Abram said, “Look, to me you have not given offspring; and look, one born in my house will be my heir.” And look, the word of YHWH came to him, saying, “This one will not be your heir; but one who will come out from your own body, he will be your heir.” 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.

I therefore, the prisoner in the Lord, urge you to walk in a manner worthy of the calling with which you were called, with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love, making every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace:

So put on, as chosen ones of God, holy and beloved, compassionate affection, kindness, humility, gentleness, patience, bearing with one another and forgiving each other if anyone has a complaint against anyone; just as the Lord also forgave you, so also you must forgive.

And we exhort you, brothers: admonish the disorderly, encourage the fainthearted, help the weak, be patient with all.

A man of wrath stirs up strife, but one who is slow to anger calms a dispute.

One who is slow to anger is great in insight, but one who is short of spirit exalts folly.

And YHWH passed by before him and proclaimed, “YHWH, YHWH, an El merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in loyal love and faithfulness,

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law.

Be patient, then, brothers, until the coming of the Lord. Look, the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the earth, being patient over it until it receives the early and the late rain. You also be patient; make firm your hearts, because the coming of the Lord has drawn near. Do not complain, brothers, against one another, so that you may not be judged. Look, the Judge is standing at the doors. As an example of suffering and patience, brothers, take the prophets who spoke in the name of the Lord. Look, we count happy those who endured. You have heard of the perseverance of Job, and you have seen the outcome given by the Lord, that the Lord is full of compassion and merciful.

Therefore, since we also have so great a cloud of witnesses surrounding us, let us lay aside every weight and the sin that so easily entangles us, and let us run with perseverance the race that is set before us, looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of faith, who for the joy set before him endured a cross, despising its shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. For consider the one who endured such opposition from sinners against themselves, so that you do not grow weary and lose heart in your souls.

And not only that, but we also boast in afflictions, knowing that affliction produces perseverance, and perseverance produces proven character, and proven character, hope. And hope does not put us to shame, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us.

And let us not lose heart in doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up.

And he was telling them a parable about the need for them to pray always and not lose heart, saying, “There was a certain judge in a certain city who did not fear God and did not respect man. And there was a widow in that city, and she kept coming to him, saying, ‘Grant me justice against my adversary.’ And for a while he was not willing; but afterward he said to himself, ‘Even though I do not fear God nor respect man, yet because this widow causes me trouble, I will grant her justice, so that she does not wear me out by coming continually.’” And the Lord said, “Listen to what the unrighteous judge says. And will God not surely bring about justice for his chosen ones, who cry out to him day and night, and will he delay long over them? I tell you that he will bring about justice for them quickly. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will he really find faith on the earth?”

So do not throw away your boldness, which has a great recompense. For you need perseverance, so that, having done the will of God, you may receive the promise.

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.

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.

But that in the good soil, these are the ones who, having heard the word with a noble and good heart, hold it fast and bear fruit with perseverance.
