Bible Verses About Waiting Upon God: Specially in adversity

For the leader. Set to "Do Not Destroy." By David; a mikhtam, when Sha'ul sent men to keep watch on David's house in order to kill him: My God, rescue me from my enemies! Lift me up, out of reach of my foes!

Rescue me from evildoers, save me from bloodthirsty men.

For there they are, lying in wait to kill me. Openly they gather themselves against me, and not because I committed a crime or sinned, ADONAI.

For no fault of mine, they run and prepare. Awaken to help me, and see!

You, ADONAI Elohei-Tzva'ot, God of Isra'el, arouse yourself to punish all the nations; spare none of those wicked traitors. (Selah)

They return at nightfall, snarling like dogs as they go around the city.

Look what pours out of their mouth, what swords are on their lips, [as they say to themselves,] "No one is listening, anyway."

But you, ADONAI, laugh at them, you mock all the nations.

My Strength, I will watch for you, for God is my fortress.

I will wait for ADONAI, who is hiding his face from the house of Ya'akov; yes, I will look for him.
