Wait for the Lord and keep his way, and he will exalt you to inherit the land; you will look on when the wicked are cut off.
Wait for the Lord; be strong, and let your heart take courage; wait for the Lord!
Do not say, “I will repay evil”; wait for the Lord, and he will deliver you.
For the evildoers shall be cut off, but those who wait for the Lord shall inherit the land.
But the one who endures to the end will be saved.
But God will break you down forever; he will snatch and tear you from your tent; he will uproot you from the land of the living. Selah The righteous shall see and fear, and shall laugh at him, saying,
Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for him; fret not yourself over the one who prospers in his way, over the man who carries out evil devices!
Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God so that at the proper time he may exalt you,
But he knows the way that I take; when he has tried me, I shall come out as gold. My foot has held fast to his steps; I have kept his way and have not turned aside. I have not departed from the commandment of his lips; I have treasured the words of his mouth more than my portion of food.
For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted.”
The highway of the upright turns aside from evil; whoever guards his way preserves his life.
Let your eyes look directly forward, and your gaze be straight before you. Ponder the path of your feet; then all your ways will be sure. Do not swerve to the right or to the left; turn your foot away from evil.
But you have exalted my horn like that of the wild ox; you have poured over me fresh oil. My eyes have seen the downfall of my enemies; my ears have heard the doom of my evil assailants.
You will only look with your eyes and see the recompense of the wicked.
Trust in the Lord, and do good; dwell in the land and befriend faithfulness.
Yet the righteous holds to his way, and he who has clean hands grows stronger and stronger.
so that the tested genuineness of your faith—more precious than gold that perishes though it is tested by fire—may be found to result in praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ.
He has distributed freely; he has given to the poor; his righteousness endures forever; his horn is exalted in honor.
