Psalms 39:7 - Compare All Versions

“But now, Lord, what do I look for? My hope is in you.

“And now, O Lord, for what do I wait? My hope is in you.

And so, Lord, where do I put my hope? My only hope is in you.

“Now, Lord, what do I wait for? My hope is in you.

And now, Lord, what wait I for? My hope is in thee.

“And now, Lord, what do I wait for? My hope is in You.

“What am I doing in the meantime, Lord? Hoping, that’s what I’m doing—hoping You’ll save me from a rebel life, save me from the contempt of idiots. I’ll say no more, I’ll shut my mouth, since you, Lord, are behind all this. But I can’t take it much longer. When you put us through the fire to purge us from our sin, our dearest idols go up in smoke. Are we also nothing but smoke?

¶“And now, Lord, for what do I wait? My hope is in You.

¶“And now, Lord, for what do I expectantly wait? My hope [my confident expectation] is in You.

But now, O Lord, upon what am I relying? You are my only hope!
