5 Upon God alone, O my soul, rest peacefully; for my expectation is from him.
But as for me, I will look unto Jehovah; I will wait for the God of my salvation: my God will hear me.
Unless I had believed to see the goodness of Jehovah in the land of the living ...! Wait for Jehovah; be strong and let thy heart take courage: yea, wait for Jehovah.
Bless Jehovah, O my soul! Jehovah my God, thou art very great; thou art clothed with majesty and splendour;
For thou art my hope, O Lord Jehovah, my confidence from my youth.
For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but it hasteth to the end, and shall not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; for it will surely come, it will not delay.
Therefore wait ye for me, saith Jehovah, until the day that I rise up to the prey; for my determination is to assemble the nations, that I may gather the kingdoms together, to pour upon them mine indignation, -- all my fierce anger: for all the earth shall be devoured with the fire of my jealousy.
Be not a terror unto me: thou art my refuge in the day of evil.
{To the chief Musician. On Jeduthun. A Psalm of David.} Upon God alone doth my soul rest peacefully; from him is my salvation. He only is my rock and my salvation; my high fortress: I shall not be greatly moved.
Why art thou cast down, my soul? and why art thou disquieted within me? hope in God; for I shall yet praise him, [who is] the health of my countenance, and my God.
Why art thou cast down, my soul, and art disquieted in me? hope in God; for I shall yet praise him, [for] the health of his countenance.
