nd therefore the Lord [earnestly] waits [especting,
looking, and lodging] to be gracious to you; and therefore
He lifts Himself up, that He may have mercy on you and show
loving-kindness to you. For the Lord is a God of justice.
Blessed (happy, fortunate, to be envied) are all those
who [earnestly] wait for Him, who expect and look and long
for Him [for His victory, His favor, His love, His peace,
His joy, and His matchless, unbroken companionship]!

ISAIAH 30:18
