Lo, he goeth by me, and I see him not: he passeth on also, but I perceive him not.

Oh that I knew where I might find him! that I might come even to his seat!

Behold, I go forward, but he is not there; and backward, but I cannot perceive him:

But he knoweth the way that I take: when he hath tried me, I shall come forth as gold.

If I speak of strength, lo, he is strong: and if of judgment, who shall set me a time to plead?

Behold, I cry out of wrong, but I am not heard: I cry aloud, but there is no judgment.

I have considered the days of old, the years of ancient times.

Will the Lord cast off for ever? and will he be favourable no more?

Hath God forgotten to be gracious? hath he in anger shut up his tender mercies? Selah.

Clouds and darkness are round about him: righteousness and judgment are the habitation of his throne.

And therefore will the LORD wait, that he may be gracious unto you, and therefore will he be exalted, that he may have mercy upon you: for the LORD is a God of judgment: blessed are all they that wait for him.

No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness is of me, saith the LORD.

Therefore I will look unto the LORD; I will wait for the God of my salvation: my God will hear me.

I will bear the indignation of the LORD, because I have sinned against him, until he plead my cause, and execute judgment for me: he will bring me forth to the light, and I shall behold his righteousness.

Deliver me not over unto the will of mine enemies: for false witnesses are risen up against me, and such as breathe out cruelty.

Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the LORD.

Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass.

And he shall bring forth thy righteousness as the light, and thy judgment as the noonday.

My soul, wait thou only upon God; for my expectation is from him.

Trust in him at all times; ye people, pour out your heart before him: God is a refuge for us. Selah.

Who is among you that feareth the LORD, that obeyeth the voice of his servant, that walketh in darkness, and hath no light? let him trust in the name of the LORD, and stay upon his God.

Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect? It is God that justifieth.

Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us.
