Psalms 130:4-5. But there is forgiveness with thee, that thou mayest be feared. I wait for the LORD, my soul doth wait, and in his word do I hope.
See, this is all in the first person. Dear friend, can you use it in the first person? Can you say, "I wait for Jehovah"? Blessed are they that are content to wait his will, but yet with holy eagerness are prepared to do that will or to suffer it, as he pleases. "My soul doth wait, and in his word do I hope." All my hope is there. If it were not for his promises I should have no confidence, but one word of God is better than all the things that can be seen. It is better to trust in God’s declaration than in man’s oath. It is better to trust in the Lord than to put confidence in princes.
