# 12 of 31 Hope and Wait

This I recall to my mind therefore have I hope.

It is of the Lord’s mercies that we are not consumed,

Because his compassions fail not

They are new every morning: great is they faithfulness,

The Lord is my portion, says my should; therefore will I hope in Him.

The Lord is good unto them that wait for him,

to the soul that seeks him.

It is good that a man should both hope and quietly wait for the salvation of the Lord.
