Compare all

24 “The Lord is my ^aportion,” says my soul,
“Therefore I ^bhope in Him!”

25 The Lord is good to those who ^await for Him,
To the soul who seeks Him.

26 It is good that one should ^ahope ^band wait quietly
For the salvation of the Lord.

27 ^aIt is good for a man to bear
The yoke in his youth.

28 ^aLet him sit alone and keep silent,
Because God has laid it on him;

29 ^aLet him put his mouth in the dust—
There may yet be hope.
