But as for me, I watch in hope for the Lord, I wait for God my Savior; my God will hear me.

But I will look to the Lord. I’ll put my trust in God my Savior. He will hear me.

But as for me, I will look to the Lord; I will wait for the God of my salvation; my God will hear me.

But I will look to the LORD; I will wait for the God of my salvation. My God will hear me.

But as for me, I will be on the watch for the Lord; I will wait for the God of my salvation. My God will hear me.

Therefore I will look to the Lord; I will wait for the God of my salvation; My God will hear me.

But as for me, I will look unto Jehovah; I will wait for the God of my salvation: my God will hear me.

But I will look to the Lord; I will wait for the God of my salvation. My God will hear me.

Therefore I will look unto the LORD; I will wait for the God of my salvation: my God will hear me.

But I will keep watching for the LORD; I will wait for the God who delivers me. My God will hear my lament.

But as for me, I will look to Yahweh. I will wait for the God of my salvation. My God will hear me.

In that day the people will proclaim,“ This is our God! We trusted in him, and he saved us! This is the Lord, in whom we trusted. Let us rejoice in the salvation he brings!”

The Lord is good to those who depend on him, to those who search for him.So it is good to wait quietly for salvation from the Lord.

Be still in the presence of the Lord, and wait patiently for him to act. Don’t worry about evil people who prosper or fret about their wicked schemes.

Lead me by your truth and teach me, for you are the God who saves me. All day long I put my hope in you.

Even though the fig trees have no blossoms, and there are no grapes on the vines; even though the olive crop fails, and the fields lie empty and barren; even though the flocks die in the fields, and the cattle barns are empty,yet I will rejoice in the Lord! I will be joyful in the God of my salvation!The Sovereign Lord is my strength! He makes me as surefooted as a deer, able to tread upon the heights.( For the choir director: This prayer is to be accompanied by stringed instruments.)

I waited patiently for the Lord to help me, and he turned to me and heard my cry.He lifted me out of the pit of despair, out of the mud and the mire. He set my feet on solid ground and steadied me as I walked along.He has given me a new song to sing, a hymn of praise to our God. Many will see what he has done and be amazed. They will put their trust in the Lord.

I love them, but they try to destroy me with accusations even as I am praying for them!

I trust in you for salvation, O Lord!

Let all the world look to me for salvation! For I am God; there is no other.

See, God has come to save me. I will trust in him and not be afraid. The Lord God is my strength and my song; he has given me victory.”

For I am waiting for you, O Lord. You must answer for me, O Lord my God.

for you answer our prayers. All of us must come to you.

I am counting on the Lord; yes, I am counting on him. I have put my hope in his word.

I will wait for the Lord, who has turned away from the descendants of Jacob. I will put my hope in him.

I look for someone to come and help me, but no one gives me a passing thought! No one will help me; no one cares a bit what happens to me.Then I pray to you, O Lord. I say,“ You are my place of refuge. You are all I really want in life.

How long will you people ruin my reputation? How long will you make groundless accusations? How long will you continue your lies? InterludeYou can be sure of this: The Lord set apart the godly for himself. The Lord will answer when I call to him.

But I will call on God, and the Lord will rescue me.Morning, noon, and night I cry out in my distress, and the Lord hears my voice.

Do not let me fall into their hands. For they accuse me of things I’ve never done; with every breath they threaten me with violence.Yet I am confident I will see the Lord’s goodness while I am here in the land of the living.Wait patiently for the Lord. Be brave and courageous. Yes, wait patiently for the Lord.

Then call on me when you are in trouble, and I will rescue you, and you will give me glory.”

I wait quietly before God, for my victory comes from him.He alone is my rock and my salvation, my fortress where I will never be shaken.So many enemies against one man— all of them trying to kill me. To them I’m just a broken down wall or a tottering fence.They plan to topple me from my high position. They delight in telling lies about me. They praise me to my face but curse me in their hearts. InterludeLet all that I am wait quietly before God, for my hope is in him.He alone is my rock and my salvation, my fortress where I will not be shaken.My victory and honor come from God alone. He is my refuge, a rock where no enemy can reach me.O my people, trust in him at all times. Pour out your heart to him, for God is our refuge. Interlude

At this, the enemies of Jesus were wild with rage and began to discuss what to do with him.One day soon afterward Jesus went up on a mountain to pray, and he prayed to God all night.

At that time there was a man in Jerusalem named Simeon. He was righteous and devout and was eagerly waiting for the Messiah to come and rescue Israel. The Holy Spirit was upon himand had revealed to him that he would not die until he had seen the Lord’s Messiah.That day the Spirit led him to the Temple. So when Mary and Joseph came to present the baby Jesus to the Lord as the law required,Simeon was there. He took the child in his arms and praised God, saying,“ Sovereign Lord, now let your servant die in peace, as you have promised.I have seen your salvation,which you have prepared for all people.He is a light to reveal God to the nations, and he is the glory of your people Israel!”

Those who look to him for help will be radiant with joy; no shadow of shame will darken their faces.In my desperation I prayed, and the Lord listened; he saved me from all my troubles.
