hope
And I will wait on the Lord,Who hides His face from the house of Jacob;And I will hope in Him.
Trust in the Lord forever,For in YAH, the Lord, is everlasting strength.
Kings shall be your foster fathers,And their queens your nursing mothers;They shall bow down to you with their faces to the earth,And lick up the dust of your feet.Then you will know that I am the Lord,For they shall not be ashamed who wait for Me.”
He will not fail nor be discouraged,Till He has established justice in the earth;And the coastlands shall wait for His law.”
For Sheol cannot thank You,Death cannot praise You;Those who go down to the pit cannot hope for Your truth.
My righteousness is near,My salvation has gone forth,And My arms will judge the peoples;The coastlands will wait upon Me,And on My arm they will trust.
Moreover those who work in fine flaxAnd those who weave fine fabric will be ashamed;
Then they shall be afraid and ashamed of Ethiopia their expectation and Egypt their glory.
You are wearied in the length of your way;Yet you did not say, ‘There is no hope.’You have found the life of your hand;Therefore you were not grieved.
For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.
