LORD, I have hoped for thy salvation, and done thy commandments.

I have waited for thy salvation, O LORD.

Let thy mercies come also unto me, O LORD, even thy salvation, according to thy word.

I opened my mouth, and panted: for I longed for thy commandments.

But the Lord said unto him, Go thy way: for he is a chosen vessel unto me, to bear my name before the Gentiles, and kings, and the children of Israel: / For I will shew him how great things he must suffer for my name's sake.

Thou, O LORD, remainest for ever; thy throne from generation to generation.
