Mazmur 31:24

31:24 Be strong and confident, ¹ 

all you who wait on the Lord!

Mazmur 33:22

33:22 May we experience your faithfulness, O Lord, ² 

for ³  we wait for you.

Mazmur 119:43

119:43 Do not completely deprive me of a truthful testimony, ⁴ 

for I await your justice.

Mazmur 119:147

119:147 I am up before dawn crying for help.

I find hope in your word.

[31:24]  ¹ tn Heb “be strong and let your heart[s] be confident.”

[33:22]  ² tn Heb “let your faithfulness, O Lord, be on us.”

[33:22]  ³ tn Or “just as.”

[119:43]  ⁴ tn Heb “do not snatch from my mouth a word of truth to excess.” The psalmist wants to be able to give a reliable testimony about the Lord’s loyal love (vv. 41-42), but if God does not intervene, the psalmist will be deprived of doing so, for the evidence of such love (i.e., deliverance) will be lacking.
