Psalms 68:28

For it is God who works in you both to will and to work, for his good pleasure.

But as it is written, “Things which an eye didn’t see, and an ear didn’t hear, which didn’t enter into the heart of man, these God has prepared for those who love him.”

for the perfecting of the saints, to the work of serving, to the building up of the body of Christ,

Therefore we don’t faint, but though our outward man is decaying, yet our inward man is renewed day by day.

For from of old men have not heard, nor perceived by the ear, nor has the eye seen a God besides you, who works for him who waits for him.

who satisfies your desire with good things, so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.

who will also confirm you until the end, blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.

But may the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a little while, perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle you.

Let’s not be weary in doing good, for we will reap in due season, if we don’t give up.

Therefore let’s also, seeing we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, lay aside every weight and the sin which so easily entangles us, and let’s run with perseverance the race that is set before us,

Listen, my beloved brothers. Didn’t God choose those who are poor in this world to be rich in faith, and heirs of the Kingdom which he promised to those who love him?

He also spoke a parable to them that they must always pray, and not give up,

They go from strength to strength. Every one of them appears before God in Zion.

You will show me the path of life. In your presence is fullness of joy. In your right hand there are pleasures forever more.

so that you may approve the things that are excellent, that you may be sincere and without offense to the day of Christ,

‘You have seen what I did to the Egyptians, and how I bore you on eagles’ wings, and brought you to myself.

Wait for Yahweh, and keep his way, and he will exalt you to inherit the land. When the wicked are cut off, you shall see it.

Don’t say, “I will pay back evil.” Wait for Yahweh, and he will save you.

In the day that I called, you answered me. You encouraged me with strength in my soul.

Therefore Yahweh will wait, that he may be gracious to you; and therefore he will be exalted, that he may have mercy on you, for Yahweh is a God of justice. Blessed are all those who wait for him.

But if we hope for that which we don’t see, we wait for it with patience.

Wait for Yahweh. Be strong, and let your heart take courage. Yes, wait for Yahweh.

Yet the righteous will hold to his way. He who has clean hands will grow stronger and stronger.

I cry out to God Most High, to God who accomplishes my requests for me.

Jesus answered them, “This is the work of God, that you believe in him whom he has sent.”

Now he who made us for this very thing is God, who also gave to us the down payment of the Spirit.

It shall be said in that day, “Behold, this is our God! We have waited for him, and he will save us! This is Yahweh! We have waited for him. We will be glad and rejoice in his salvation!”

I will strengthen them in Yahweh; and they will walk up and down in his name,” says Yahweh.

Therefore don’t throw away your boldness, which has a great reward.

For consider him who has endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, that you don’t grow weary, fainting in your souls.

You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil. My cup runs over.

Yahweh, you will ordain peace for us, for you have also done all our work for us.

See then the goodness and severity of God. Toward those who fell, severity; but toward you, goodness, if you continue in his goodness; otherwise you also will be cut off.

Therefore seeing we have this ministry, even as we obtained mercy, we don’t faint.

looking to Jesus, the author and perfecter of faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising its shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

Yes, no one who waits for you will be shamed. They will be shamed who deal treacherously without cause.

Yahweh will give strength to his people. Yahweh will bless his people with peace.

I will wait for Yahweh, who hides his face from the house of Jacob, and I will look for him.

Then Yahweh’s ransomed ones will return, and come with singing to Zion; and everlasting joy will be on their heads. They will obtain gladness and joy, and sorrow and sighing will flee away.”

But he who does the truth comes to the light, that his works may be revealed, that they have been done in God.”

Samson called to Yahweh, and said, “Lord Yahweh, remember me, please, and strengthen me, please, only this once, God, that I may be at once avenged of the Philistines for my two eyes.”

Surely God is good to Israel, to those who are pure in heart.

Behold, as the eyes of servants look to the hand of their master, as the eyes of a maid to the hand of her mistress; so our eyes look to Yahweh, our God, until he has mercy on us.

For you both had compassion on me in my chains, and joyfully accepted the plundering of your possessions, knowing that you have for yourselves a better possession and an enduring one in the heavens.

Guide me in your truth, and teach me, For you are the God of my salvation, I wait for you all day long.

Let integrity and uprightness preserve me, for I wait for you.

Oh how great is your goodness, which you have laid up for those who fear you, which you have worked for those who take refuge in you, before the sons of men!

I waited patiently for Yahweh. He turned to me, and heard my cry.

You will also decree a thing, and it will be established to you. Light will shine on your ways.

All the multitude kept silence, and they listened to Barnabas and Paul reporting what signs and wonders God had done among the nations through them.

You have perseverance and have endured for my name’s sake, and have not grown weary.

For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared before that we would walk in them.

Finally, be strong in the Lord, and in the strength of his might.

remembering without ceasing your work of faith and labor of love and perseverance of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, before our God and Father.

But no one says, ‘Where is God my Maker, who gives songs in the night,

I will bless Yahweh, who has given me counsel. Yes, my heart instructs me in the night seasons.

One thing I have asked of Yahweh, that I will seek after: that I may dwell in Yahweh’s house all the days of my life, to see Yahweh’s beauty, and to inquire in his temple.

I am still confident of this: I will see the goodness of Yahweh in the land of the living.

Because you have made Yahweh your refuge, and the Most High your dwelling place,

and he said: “Yahweh is my rock, my fortress, and my deliverer, even mine;

Is it good to you that you should oppress, that you should despise the work of your hands, and smile on the counsel of the wicked?

My glory is fresh in me. My bow is renewed in my hand.’

Yet God is my King of old, working salvation throughout the earth.

For he will put his angels in charge of you, to guard you in all your ways.

Your hands have made me and formed me. Give me understanding, that I may learn your commandments.

like the dew of Hermon, that comes down on the hills of Zion; for there Yahweh gives the blessing, even life forever more.

Cause me to hear your loving kindness in the morning, for I trust in you. Cause me to know the way in which I should walk, for I lift up my soul to you.

Haven’t you known? Haven’t you heard? The everlasting God, Yahweh, the Creator of the ends of the earth, doesn’t faint. He isn’t weary. His understanding is unsearchable.

Not that I have already obtained, or am already made perfect; but I press on, that I may take hold of that for which also I was taken hold of by Christ Jesus.

Two wings of the great eagle were given to the woman, that she might fly into the wilderness to her place, so that she might be nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent.

My soul rests in God alone. My salvation is from him.

when I remember you on my bed, and think about you in the night watches.

I remember my song in the night. I consider in my own heart; my spirit diligently inquires:

Lord, you have been our dwelling place for all generations.

Teach me, Yahweh, the way of your statutes. I will keep them to the end.

This is my comfort in my affliction, for your word has revived me.

I have remembered your name, Yahweh, in the night, and I obey your law.

because Yahweh of Armies has blessed them, saying, “Blessed be Egypt my people, Assyria the work of my hands, and Israel my inheritance.”

Arise, cry out in the night, at the beginning of the watches! Pour out your heart like water before the face of the Lord. Lift up your hands toward him for the life of your young children, who faint for hunger at the head of every street.

Yahweh is good to those who wait for him, to the soul who seeks him.

and what is the exceeding greatness of his power toward us who believe, according to that working of the strength of his might

who by the power of God are guarded through faith for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.

Yahweh will command his loving kindness in the daytime. In the night his song shall be with me: a prayer to the God of my life.

You are my King, God. Command victories for Jacob!

Be to me a rock of refuge to which I may always go. Give the command to save me, for you are my rock and my fortress.

Let the favor of the Lord our God be on us. Establish the work of our hands for us. Yes, establish the work of our hands.

Yahweh will fulfill that which concerns me. Your loving kindness, Yahweh, endures forever. Don’t forsake the works of your own hands.

but those who wait for Yahweh will renew their strength. They will mount up with wings like eagles. They will run, and not be weary. They will walk, and not faint.

being confident of this very thing, that he who began a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ.

To this end we also pray always for you, that our God may count you worthy of your calling, and fulfill every desire of goodness and work of faith with power,
