“And now, O Lord, for what do I wait? My hope is in you.
May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope.
But for you, O Lord, do I wait; it is you, O Lord my God, who will answer.
My soul longs for your salvation; I hope in your word.
I hope for your salvation, O Lord, and I do your commandments.
I wait for your salvation, O Lord.
Though he slay me, I will hope in him; yet I will argue my ways to his face.
I wait for the Lord, my soul waits, and in his word I hope; my soul waits for the Lord more than watchmen for the morning, more than watchmen for the morning.
Now there was a man in Jerusalem, whose name was Simeon, and this man was righteous and devout, waiting for the consolation of Israel, and the Holy Spirit was upon him.
