5 My soul, put all your faith in God; for from him comes my hope.
But as for me, I am looking to the Lord; I am waiting for the God of my salvation: the ears of my God will be open to me.
I had almost given up my hope of seeing the blessing of the Lord in the land of the living. Let your hope be in the Lord: take heart and be strong; yes, let your hope be in the Lord.
Let the Lord be praised. Give praise to the Lord, O my soul.
Give praise to the Lord, O my soul. O Lord my God, you are very great; you are robed with honour and power.
For you are my hope, O Lord God; I have had faith in you from the time when I was young.
For the vision is still for the fixed time, and it is moving quickly to the end, and it will not be false: even if it is slow in coming, go on waiting for it; because it will certainly come, it will not be kept back.
For this reason, go on waiting for me, says the Lord, till the day when I come up as a witness: for my purpose is to send for the nations and to get the kingdoms together, so that I may let loose on them my passion, even all my burning wrath: for all the earth will be burned up in the fire of my bitter passion.
Be not a cause of fear to me: you are my safe place in the day of evil.
<To the chief music-maker. After Jeduthun. A Psalm. Of David.> My soul, put all your faith in God; for from him comes my salvation. He only is my Rock and my salvation; he is my high tower; I will not be greatly moved.
Why are you crushed down, O my soul? and why are you troubled in me? put your hope in God, for I will again give him praise who is my help and my God.
Why are you crushed down, O my soul? and why are you troubled in me? put your hope in God; for I will again give him praise who is my help and my God.
And now, Lord, what am I waiting for? my hope is in you.
I said to myself, The Lord is my heritage; and because of this I will have hope in him. The Lord is good to those who are waiting for him, to the soul which is looking for him. It is good to go on hoping and quietly waiting for the salvation of the Lord.

Psa 62:8-12
Here we have David's exhortation to others to trust in God and wait upon him, as he had done.
